A Novel Electroosmotic Micromixer with Asymmetric Lateral Structures and DC Electrode Arrays
We present a novel electroosmotic micromixer that consists of arrays of direct current (DC) asymmetric electrode and asymmetric lateral structures. By embedding asymmetric electrode arrays on the top and bottom walls of a rectangular microchannel appropriately, the flow perturbations and vortexes can be induced when a DC electric field is imposed. An efficient lateral structure is then sequenti...
متن کاملAn Enhanced Electroosmotic Micromixer with an Efficient Asymmetric Lateral Structure
Homogeneous and rapid mixing in microfluidic devices is difficult to accomplish, owing to the low Reynolds number associated with most flows in microfluidic channels. Here, an efficient electroosmotic micromixer based on a carefully designed lateral structure is demonstrated. The electroosmotic flow in this mixer with an asymmetrical structure induces enhanced disturbance in the micro channel, ...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of an Electroosmotic Micromixer
We present a micromixer fabricated using MEMS technology which takes advantage of electroosmosis to mix fluids. A time dependent electric field is applied and the resulting electroosmosis perturbs the low Reynolds number flow. It is shown that the electric field can be deemed quasi-steady and the electroosmotic slip boundary condition can be applied when the incompressible Navier Stokes equatio...
متن کاملOptimal Control-Based Inverse Determination of Electrode Distribution for Electroosmotic Micromixer
This paper presents an optimal control-based inverse method used to determine the distribution of the electrodes for the electroosmotic micromixers with external driven flow from the inlet. Based on the optimal control method, one Dirichlet boundary control problem is constructed to inversely find the optimal distribution of the electrodes on the sidewalls of electroosmotic micromixers and achi...
متن کاملAc Electro-osmotic Micromixer Using a Face-to-face, Asymmetric Pair of Planar Electrodes
T This paper reports the mixing performance of an AC electroosmotic micromixer based on the three-dimensional extensional flow generated by a face-to-face, asymmetric pair of planar electrodes. This work represents the first successful use of such an asymmetric electrode pair in an AC electroosmotic micromixer. Due to the highly 3dimentional flow pattern generated by the face-to-face electrode ...
