ANALYSIS OF MICROMIXER FOR BLOOD FLOW USING ANSYS

ANSYS fluid flow simulation is used to design two inlets, one donating the human blood and other donating the anticoagulant and an outlet with consist of the mixture of both inlet fluids. The results show that the basic parameters can largely affect the passive micromixers resulting in better mixing of the fluid owning the change in their velocity, pressure and temperature profiles.
