A Study on the curvature Effect of microchannel within Electroosmotic Flow

전기삼투 유동 중 마이크로 채널 내 곡률 변화에 따른 혼합특성에 대한 연구

In this study a newly designed and electro-osmotic micro-mixer is proposed. This design is comprised of a channel and metal electrodes attached in the local side wall surface, To investigate the flow patterns a numerical method is employed. To obtain the flow patterns numerical computation are performed by using a commercial code, CFD-ACE. The fluid-flow solutions are then cast into studying the characteristics of stirring with aid the Mixing index. Focus is given the effect on the electro osmotic flow characteristics under the curvature variation in the microchannel with the local of the electric field
