Аннотация: Flow regimes and mixing performance in a T-type micromixer at high Reynolds numbers were studied by numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. The Reynolds number was varied from 1 to 1000. The cross section of the mixing channel was 100 mu m x 200 mu m, and its length was 1400 mu m. The transverse inlet channels were symmeПоказать полностьюtric about the mixing channel, and their cross-section was 100 mu m x 100 mu m, and the total length was 800 mu m. Five different flow regimes were identified: (i) stationary vortex-free flow (Re 400). Maximum mixing efficiency is obtained for nonstationary asymmetric vortex flow. In this case, an S-shaped vortex structure is formed in the flow field. The effect of the slip conditions on the flow pattern and mixing efficiency is studied. The slip length varied from 1 to 70 mu m in the calculations. It was shown that the mixing can be controlled by hydrophobic coating. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
