Rapid mixing of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in a three-dimensional micro-mixer using non-uniform magnetic field
The mixing of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in a magnetic micro-mixer was studied numerically using ferrofluid. The mixing process was performed in a three-dimensional steady-state micro-mixer. A magnetic source was mounted at the entrance of the micro-channel to oscillate the magnetic particles. The effects of electric current, inlet velocity, size of magnetic particles, and non-Newtonia...
متن کاملStirring and mixing of biologically reactive tracers
We examine the effect of stirring and mixing on the marine planktonic ecosystem. We present a number of models investigating the impact of patchiness in the population, diffusion, and fluid stirring on the spatial structure of the population and the overall production rates of the system. It is found that the heterogeneity of the system significantly affects the way the system behaves. The resp...
متن کاملEffects of mixing and stirring on the critical behaviour
Stochastic dynamics of a nonconserved scalar order parameter near its critical point, subject to random stirring and mixing, is studied using the field theoretic renormalization group. The stirring and mixing are modelled by a random external Gaussian noise with the correlation function ∝ δ(t − t)k and the divergence-free (due to incompressibility) velocity field, governed by the stochastic Nav...
متن کاملMagnetic control of Leidenfrost drops.
We show how a magnetic field can influence the motion of a paramagnetic drop made of liquid oxygen in a Leidenfrost state on solids at room temperature. It is demonstrated that the trajectory can be modified in both direction and velocity and that the results can be interpreted in terms of classical mechanics as long as the drop does not get too close to the magnet. We study the deviation and r...
متن کاملRapid magnetofluidic mixing in a uniform magnetic field.
This paper reports the investigation of mixing phenomena caused by the interaction between a uniform magnetic field and a magnetic fluid in a microfluidic chamber. The flow system consists of a water-based ferrofluid and a mixture of DI water and glycerol. Under a uniform magnetic field, the mismatch in magnetization of the fluids leads to instability at the interface and subsequent rapid mixin...
