... micromixer mixing index micro-PIV Microfluidic devices are used for processing (mixing, reaction) rare and expensive species in biotechnology and microchemical processing. In particular, microreactors are of interest in the chemical industry because they enhance mixing of reagents [ 1 ], reduce...

..., 2013. Assoc. Editor: Michael G. Olsen. 08 04 2012 03 04 2013 A novel, passive, scaled-up micromixer based on fluid rotation is proposed and evaluated experimentally and numerically over Reynolds numbers ranging from 0.5 to 100. Flow visualization is employed to qualitatively assess...

.... Assoc. Editor: Kendra Sharp. 01 02 2012 02 08 2012 A novel passive enlarged micromixer has been proposed and experimentally and numerically investigated in this study over 0.5 ≤ Re ≤ 100. Flow visualization was applied to qualitatively assess flow patterns and mixing, while induced...

... even at Reynolds number of the order of 0.02. The formation of vortical flow is an important aspect in developing electrokinetically driven micromixers. The configuration considered here may also provide a simple model of some type of fabrication flaw. One of the authors (S.B.) acknowledge...
