Mixing Enhancement by Optimal Flow Advection
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract. We consider the problem of optimal mixing control. Our objective is to best enhance mixing by flow advection while the flow is optimized in the sense that it is almost steady and is of the least magnitude and the least rotation. For this we define a mixing efficiency functional by penalizing the average of variance of a diffusive scalar, the average of the flow, and the average of its acceleration and strain tensor. By variational principles, we prove the existence of an optimal flow and derive optimality conditions that consist of a system of nonlinear advection-diffusion equations, wave equations, and Laplace’s equation.

Optimal Mixing Enhancement
We introduce a general-purpose method for optimising the mixing rate of advective fluid flows. An existing velocity field is perturbed in a C1 neighborhood to maximize the mixing rate for flows generated by velocity fields in this neighborhood. Our numerical approach is based on the infinitesimal generator of the flow and is solved by standard linear programming methods. The perturbed flow may ...
متن کاملChaotic advection and targeted mixing.
The advection of passive tracers in an oscillating vortex chain is investigated. It is shown that by adding a suitable perturbation to the ideal flow, the induced chaotic advection exhibits two remarkable properties which do not hold in the case of a generic perturbation: Particles remain trapped within a specific domain bounded by two oscillating barriers (suppression of chaotic transport alon...
متن کاملWaste water ammonia stripping intensification using microfluidic system
This paper reports the results of experimentally removing ammonia from synthetically prepared ammonia solution using a micro scale mixing loop air stripper. Effects of various operational parameters (such as: pH, air flow rate, wastewater flow rate and initial ammonia concentration) were evaluated. By increasing the pH from 10 to 12.25 the amount of KLa increased from 0.26 to 0.73 hr-1. A consi...
متن کاملA Review on Mixing in Microfluidics
Small-scale mixing is of uttermost importance in bioand chemical analyses using micro TAS (total analysis systems) or lab-on-chips. Many microfluidic applications involve chemical reactions where, most often, the fluid diffusivity is very low so that without the help of chaotic advection the reaction time can be extremely long. In this article, we will review various kinds of mixers developed f...
