Numerical Study of T-Shaped Micromixers with Vortex-Inducing Obstacles in the Inlet Channels

To enhance fluid mixing, a new approach for inlet flow modification by adding vortex-inducing obstacles (VIOs) in the inlet channels of a T-shaped micromixer is proposed and investigated in this work. We use a commercial computational fluid dynamics code to calculate the pressure and the velocity ve...
