Numerical Analysis of the Flow Field in a Y-Type Micromixer Using Moving Particle Semi-Implicit Method
The flow field of a Y-type active micromixer with an impeller and two inlets is numerically simulated using moving the particle semi-implicit method
in which the fully developed velocity inlet model and the moving boundary model are combined. A high efficiency inclined continuous inlet model based on position judgment is proposed. A local mixing rate calculation method
which can describe ideal ordered mixing
is defined
and the key parameters of this method are determined through numerical experiments. Simulation of the flow field shows that for the continuous mixing of two immiscible liquids
the mixing mainly happens in the counter current region of the chamber. The mixing index at the outlet channel fluctuates periodically due to the multiple effects of continuous inflow
rotation of blade
and geometry of this mixer. This paper reveals the mixing mechanism and the transportation process in a steady-state period
and studies the influences of inlet velocity and rotating speed on mixing index. It is found that the mixing index can be improved by properly reducing the inlet flow rate or increasing the rotating speed
but the mixing degree will decrease if the inlet flow rate is too small.
