  • Abstract
    Micromixers are an important part of microfluidics systems. In the present work, mixing was enhanced through the three helix types of micromixers. As a result of Dean vortices, a mixing index of 99% obtained at a very short length of the micromixers for the Reynolds number of 10. It is also obtained that the micromixer with rectangular cross-section showed better enhancement compared to the circular and triangular cross-section.
