Numerical study on the flow and mixing characteristics of T-type micromixer with periodic 45° oblique helical groove

Key Points

• Improved mixing characteristics observed due to periodic helical grooves, enhancing efficiency.
• Flow characteristics were significantly altered with the introduction of 45° oblique grooves, promoting better mixing.
• Numerical simulations were conducted to analyze flow and mixing behaviors within the T-type micromixer.
• Findings indicate the potential for design optimization in micromixers to enhance fluid mixing efficiency.
