Modeling and simulation of the mixing process of fluids in microchannels promoted by acoustic streaming

This work describes a study on the acoustic streaming phenomenon, for promoting mixing in microfluidic channels. Acoustic microagitation is a solution to overcome the slow molecular diffusion and accelerate chemical reactions, which is essential to the success of microfluidic devices. A preliminary...
