Synergetic Fluid Mixing from Viscous Fingering and Alternating Injection
We study mixing of two fluids of different viscosity in a microfluidic channel or porous medium. We show that the synergetic action of alternating injection and viscous fingering leads to a dramatic increase in mixing efficiency at high Péclet numbers. Based on observations from high-resolution simu...
