Inertia-driven enhancement of mixing efficiency in microfluidic cross-junctions. A combined Eulerian/Lagrangian approach
Mixing of a diffusing species entrained in a three-dimensional microfluidic flow-focusing cross-junction is numerically
investigated at low Reynolds numbers, 1 ≤ Re ≤ 150 , for a value of the Schmidt number representative of a small solute
molecule in water, Sc = 103 . Accurate three-dimensional simulations of the steady-state incompressible Navier–Stokes equations
confirm recent results reported in the literature highlighting the occurrence of different qualitative structures of the
