Topology-Optimized Micromixer Design with Enhanced Reverse Flow to Increase Mixing Efficiency

In this work, a serpentine mixing unit model based on topology optimization is proposed to enhance the reverse flow in both horizontal and vertical directions. The increase in reverse flow in both directions can enhance the chaotic advection phenomenon, leading to a rapid increase in the mixing inde...
