AbstractA T-shaped microfluidic micro-mixer was designed to mix desired concentrations of two fluid streams and to prepare their homogenous mixture solution. A hydrostatic pressure gradient was induced in one of the branches of the system (mixing channel) by applying external electric field and generating electroosmotic flow in the two other branches of the system. The flow field and transferred mass into the mixing channel can be regulated by controlling the applied voltage of the system. In order to prepare more homogenous mixture solution, some obstacles were added to the mixing channel to induce perturbation in the flow field and enhance the mixing efficiency of the system. Numerical simulations were performed to show the correctness of the proposed mixing strategy and to investigate the influences of the applied voltage on the mixing efficiency and induced pressure flow in the mixing channel. A proposed design can be used as a guideline to control and enhance mixing efficiency, and consequently functionality, of different microfluidic devices.

Fluid mixing in miniaturized fluidic devices is a challenging task. In this work, the mixing enhancement through oscillatory transverse perturbations coupling with divergent circular chambers is studied. To simplify the design, an autonomous microfluidic oscillator is used to produce the oscillatory flow. It is then applied to four side-channels that intersect with a central channel of constant flow. The mixing performance is tested at high fluid viscosities of up to 16 cP. Results show that the oscillatory flow can cause strong transverse perturbations which effectively enhance the mixing. The influence of a fluidic capacitor in the central channel is also examined, which at low viscosities can intensify the perturbations and further improve the mixing.
