AbstractA novel macromodel based on Krylov subspace projection method for micromixers with serpentine channels is presented. The physical equations are discretized using Galerkin method. The orthogonal basis is obtained and the discrete matrix is assembled with Arnoldi procedure based on Krylov subspace projection. The obtained macromodel can be used to calculate the concentration of the sample at arbitrary location of serpentine micromixers. The maximal relative deviation is 2 % between macromodel and only numerical simulation. The computational efficiency of the macromodel will be improved significantly with the numbers of serpentine channels increasing. Simulation results demonstrated that the macromodel is flexible, effective and easily operated for rapid design and computation of serpentine micromixers.
