Fluid-Flow Analysis for a Novel Cylindrical Micromixer

Through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and experiments, we studied the spiral flow and mixing process inside a novel cylindrical micromixer. Because mixing efficiency is generally poor in microflows, we expected spiral flow to enhance mixing. Parametric studies evaluated mixing efficiency in ter...
