摘要:
A novel design of passive micromixer based on mechanism of planar asymmetric split and recombine(P-ASAR) of fluid stream was proposed. Mixing performance of this micromixer was analyzed numerically with three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. The steady laminar flow was solved by using the finite-volume method and SIMPLE algorithm. The mixing index as the measure of mixing performance, was investigated at a range of Reynolds numbers(1-80). The result showed significant increase of mixing index for the P-ASAR micromixer with fan-shaped cavity in the sub-channel. The geometrical parameters of fan-shaped cavity affected mixing index of this type of micromixer. With mixing intensity and pump power consumption in mind, mixing index of the P-ASAR micromixer with fan-shaped cavity could reach around 78% when the width ratio of major sub-channel to fan-shaped cavity channel is 1/3. © All Rights Reserved.
