Retnasamy, Vithyacharan Poopalan, Prabakaran, Prof. Madya Dr. stevej2j77@yahoo.com prabakaran@unimap.edu.my Microchannel Vortex formation Simulation Link to publisher's homepage at http://www.springerlink.com/ Simulations have been carried out for water flow in a square microchannel with a miter bend. The simulation considered a pressure-driven flow in a channel-hydraulic diameter of 5 μm for series of Reynolds number (Re) range from 0.056 to 560, in order to investigate water flow at bends. The result shows formation of two vortices after the miter bend, which are more discernible above Re 5.6. The critical inlet velocity for the generation of vortex in this particular geometry occurs at 1 m/s. A simple energy mechanism is postulated to explain the vortex formation as well as core skew direction. The high pressure region at the outer wall before and after the bend is a major factor for vortex formation since the liquid needs to reduce the additional energy effected by the high pressure region. Navier-Stokes equation is utilized with a no slip boundary condition for a total microchannel centerline length of 795 μm which is sufficient to produce a laminar flow pattern at the outlet. 2011-06-10T07:52:07Z 2011-06-10T07:52:07Z 2011 Article Microsystem Technologies, vol.17(3), 2011, pages 469-475 0946-7076 http://www.springerlink.com/content/b8214718h7r04204/ http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/12190 en Springer-Verlag |
