Chaotic advection induced by a magnetic chain in a rotating magnetic field

Kang T.G., Hulsen M.A., Anderson P.D., den Toonder J.M.J, Meijer H.E.H., Eindhoven University of Technology, NL

We investigated chaotic advection induced by a magnetic chain suspended in a fluid in a rotating magnetic field. Our main focus is on the dynamics of the chain and the route to induce chaotic mixing, [...]

Optimization of Mixing in an Active Micromixing Device

Mathew G., Mezic I., Serban R., Petzold L., university of california, santa barbara, US

Microscale mixers can be divided into two broad classifications - passive and active. Passive mixers rely on geometric properties of the channel shape whereas active mixers rely on time-dependent perturbation of the fluid flow to [...]
