Edit1979 Illustrations of Mixing in Laminar Flow
Lewis Erwin and Kwok Y. Ng - University of Wisconsin Madison
EditIntroduction
In previous papers, theoretical derivation of a new concept on mixing in laminar flow as function of deformation has been advanced. In the past, it was believed that mixing proceeded linearly with shear. This is only true for a limited number of geometries and is a very inefficient mode of mixing. The theoretical derivation showed that exponenetial rates of mixing are possible. The experimental results in this paper demonstrate this new concept in simple shear flow and elongational flow.
