A computational study of a novel passive micromixer is presented. In this work, we analysed a Clo-plus micromixer designed to achieve efficient mixing and characterized by a process of construction that can use a single planar soft lithography step. Mixing studies were carried out at different Reynolds numbers ranging from 1 to 100. The preliminary results suggest that at Re> 50, the Clo-plus micromixer is characterized by a good mixing because of stronger Dean secondary flow and recirculation effect.

Abstract
A computational study of a novel passive micromixer is presented. In this work, we analysed a Clo-plus micromixer designed to achieve efficient mixing and characterized by a process of construction that can use a single planar soft lithography step. Mixing studies were carried out at different Reynolds numbers ranging from 1 to 100. The preliminary results suggest that at Re> 50, the Clo-plus micromixer is characterized by a good mixing because of stronger Dean secondary flow and recirculation effect.File in questo prodotto:
