How is microfluidic mixing different? [5] Turbulent Laminar
Reynolds Number[2] Re = (ρ * V * L) / mu Dimensionless measure of the ratio of inertia force to viscous force Inertial forces = density (ρ) * velocity (V) * gradient of the velocity (dV/dx) Viscous forces = dynamic viscosity coefficient (μ) * second gradient of the velocity (d2V/dx2) High Reynolds numbers - turbulent mixing Low Reynolds numbers - mixing relies on diffusion 0.1 = (1000kg/m3 * 0.0001m * 0.001m/s) [1] 0.001Ns/m2
