Abstract

Micro fluidic system holds promise for many novel applications where rapid mixing is important and has lead to number of developments. Despite of major developments no systematic study has been carried out so far to understand the effect of flow mechanism and geometry on microfluidic mixing. This work focuses on mixing analysis of low Reynolds number (<;25) fluids in T-shape passive micro mixer for different geometric and flow conditions using finite element base CFD simulations.
