Additional Readings Chaotic Mixing Model in Microchannels

Giona et al. [19] have shown that a wide class of unidirectional flows in periodic domains give a convection-enhanced diffusion with b= /2- 

Several authors have shown that in laminar flows, mixing time scales as a power law of the Peclet number. Thus, Meunier and Villermaux [20], Gleeson [21] and Raynal and Gence [22] showed that in some regions fdiaotic but in other cases

In laminar flows with several vortices, Gerlinger et al. [23] showed the importance of the initial concentration fleld for the mixing rate and proposed a general power-law lmix Ps with h between 1 and 0.3. 

As will be shown later, the general Equation (6.10) allows the representation of all types of laminar mixers, even those which show no fully chaotic behavior. This can be explained by the fact that any real complex flow presents a mechanism of material stretching, reorientation and folding which is more or less repeated along the flow.
