Increasing Mixing in Microchannels using Design Optimization

	Posted Fri January 20, 2017 @05:03PM
	The latest blog post from Flow Science discusses optimizing microchannel geometry using the design optimization software, CAESES®, from Friendship Systems GmbH. Mixing fluids can be very important in the design of miniaturized chemical and biochemical analysis systems. However, the mixing of fluids at the micro-scale is challenging because of an inherent lack of any mechanism to induce the mixing.

	Turbulence is a good natural way to cause mixing, but microfluidic processes are laminar in nature. In a previous blog, I discussed the challenges that arise because of the laminar flow regime and how one might try to overcome the challenges by modifying geometry to induce mixing. In this blog, I will discuss our work on further optimizing the microchannel geometry using the design optimization software, CAESES®, from Friendship Systems GmbH. Read the full text
