Lobasov, A. Density effect on the mixing efficiency and flow modes in T-shaped micromixers [Текст] / A. Lobasov, A. Minakov // MATEC Web of Conferences: 33rd Siberian Thermophysical Seminar, STS 2017. — 2017. — Т. 115. — С. 1-4Abstract:
Flow patterns and mixing of liquids with different densities in T-shaped micromixers are numerically investigated at Reynolds number range from 1 to 250. The density ratio of the mixing media varies from 1 to 2; its effect on the flow structure and the mixing is studied. The dependences of the mixing efficiency and the pressure difference in this mixer on the density ratio and the Reynolds number are obtained. It is shown that the density ratio has a considerable effect on the flow structure, especially before the transition from the symmetric to the asymmetric flow pattern.
