Reynolds number effects in designing a micromixer for biomems application

Two-fluid mixing is an essential process in many microfluidic devices for Biomedical Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (BioMEMS) applications. For example, various biomedical and biochemical process involve the mixing of two fluids. The performance of such processes relies on effective and rapi...
