Numerical investigating the impact of fluid properties and oscillation frequency on micro mixer efficiency by Sajad Ghanbari, Mohammad Sefid, Mohammad Ali Sabbaghi

“…For this purpose, a two-dimensional microchannel equipped with an oscillating circular cylinder was used, operating within a Strouhal number range of 0.1–0.55, with an oscillation amplitude of 0.4 cylinder diameters in a direction perpendicular to the flow direction, at a blockage ratio of 13 and Reynolds and Schmidt numbers of 50 and 10, respectively, utilizing a finite volume method based on elements. The results obtained indicate that mixing two identical fluids represents an ideal condition, wherein the highest level of mixing occurs compared to mixing two fluids with differing densities and viscosities. …”
