Lyapunov Exponents of a Micro Chaotic Mixer
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we study the Lyapunov exponents of a micro chaotic mixer to understand the mixing effectiveness under different operating parameters. A simple kinematic micro mixer model is used for the simulated flow visualization and then for the computation of Lyapunov exponents using two different numerical methods. These two methods generate consistent result to corroborate the existence of positive Lyapunov exponent which is the key signature of a chaotic system.

Optimization of Chaotic Micromixers Using Finite Time Lyapunov Exponents
In microfluidics mixing of different fluids is a highly non-trivial task due to the absence of turbulence. The dominant process allowing mixing at low Reynolds number is therefore diffusion, thus rendering mixing in plain channels very inefficient. Recently, passive chaotic micromixers such as the staggered herringbone mixer were developed, allowing efficient mixing of fluids by repeated stretc...
متن کاملChaotic Response and Bifurcation Analysis of a Timoshenko Beam with Backlash Support Subjected to Moving Masses
A simply supported Timoshenko beam with an intermediate backlash is considered. The beam equations of motion are obtained based on the Timoshenko beam theory by including the dynamic effect of a moving mass travelling along the vibrating path. The equations of motion are discretized by using the assumed modes technique and solved using the Runge–Kutta method. The analysis methods employed in...
