Article Synopsis
- A new serpentine mixing unit model, using topology optimization, is developed to improve reverse flow and enhance mixing in both horizontal and vertical directions.
- This model increases the chaotic advection phenomenon, leading to a higher mixing index and is applied to create a new micromixer design called TOD.
- Simulations conducted with Comsol Multiphysics show that TOD excels in mixing performance, achieving over 90% mixing index for Reynolds numbers greater than 5, making it a viable micromixer option.
