Methods of energizing micro flows by acoustic and electric fields

Schönfeld F., Dadic D., Hardt S., Püschl R., Schmitz F., Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz –(IMM), DE

We present two different concepts for energizing (e.g. mixing, pumping) of micro flows, which rely on the coupling of acoustic and electromagnetic energy into a liquid. Both concepts are analyzed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) [...]

Optimized Distributive u-Mixing by Chaotic Multilamination

Schönfeld F., Drese K.S., Hardt S., Hessel V., Hofmann C., Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz –(IMM), DE

We present a new type of micro mixer relying on a multi-step split-and-recombine (SAR) approach. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), a favourable mixer design is identified which allows for an almost ideal multilamination. The numerical [...]
