Numerical simulation of an electroosmotic micromixer with variable modules
Keyword(s):
We designed a new type of [Formula: see text]-type electroosmotic micromixer with variable modules (EMVMs). By applying 7V alternating current (AC) voltage to the EMVM, the mixing efficiency at different Reynolds number (Re) is discussed by changing the rotation angles of modules at different positions in different directions. We found that the mixing efficiency of the EMVM can reach 99% when the first block is rotated along the xz-axis. Then, we change the torsion angle of the same variable module and find that the mixing efficiency can reach 99.3% when the torsion is [Formula: see text]. Finally, we change the voltage value and find that the mixing efficiency of the EMVM increases with the increase of voltage values.
