Optimal Designs of Staggered Dean Vortex Micromixers [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2011 A novel parallel laminar micromixer with a two-dimensional staggered Dean Vortex micromixer is optimized and fabricated in our study. Dean vortices induced by centrifugal forces in curved rectangular channels cause fluids to produce secondary flows. The split-and-recombination (SAR) structures of the flow channels and the impinging effects result in ...

Dean vortex-enhanced blood plasma separation in self-driven spiral microchannel flow with cross-flow microfilters. [PDF]
BiomicrofluidicsPoint-of-care (POC) diagnostic devices have been developing rapidly in recent years, but they are mainly using saliva instead of blood as a test sample. A highly efficient self-separation during the self-driven flow without power systems is desired for expanding the point-of-care diagnostic devices.
