Regularized lattice Boltzmann Multicomponent models for low Capillary and Reynolds microfluidics flows [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 We present a regularized version of the color gradient lattice Boltzmann (LB) scheme for the simulation of droplet formation in microfluidic devices of experimental relevance. The regularized version is shown to provide computationally efficient access to Capillary number regimes relevant to droplet generation via microfluidic devices, such as flow ...

A compact and efficient three-dimensional microfluidic mixer [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Microfluidic mixing is a fundamental functionality in most lab on a chip (LOC) systems,whereas realization of efficient mixing is challenging in microfluidic channels due to the small Reynolds numbers. Here, we design and fabricate a compact three-dimensional (3D) micromixer to enable efficient mixing at various flow rates.
