Fluid Mixing Control Inside a Y-shaped Microchannel by Using Electrokinetic Instability

A parametric study was conducted to improve our understanding pertaining to the fundamental physics of electrokinetic instability (EKI) and to explore the effectiveness of manipulating EKI waves to control/enhance fluid mixing inside a Y-shaped microchannel. The dependence of the critical strength o...
