Abstract

A method for generating mixing in an electroosmotic flow of an electrolytic solution in a three-dimensional channel is proposed. When the width-to-height aspect ratio of the channel cross-section is large, mixing of a blob of a solute in a slip-driven three-dimensional flow in a rectangular channel can be used to model and assess the effectiveness of this method. It is demonstrated through numerical simulations that under certain operating conditions, rapid and efficient mixing can be achieved. Future investigation will include the solution of the exact equations and experimentation.
