Numerical simulations using three-dimensional front tracking method are conducted to study the effects of droplet properties on the transient motion, rotation and deformation of a droplet during its transit in straight and L-shaped rectangular channels. The properties under investigation for straight channel are the density ratio, viscosity ratio, Reynolds number, Weber number and droplet initial position. The latter two parameters are chosen for the study of L-shaped channel. The results show that in the straight channel, despite the droplet initial positions, the droplet with the same properties ends up at the same equilibrium position. However, when the Reynolds number increases, the droplet is heavier or less viscous or droplet becomes more deformable, the droplet equilibrium position is much closer to the wall. Also, heavier or less viscous droplet exhibits higher rotational speed, which is believed to enhance oscillatory motion. As for the L-shaped channel, it is found that the droplet deformability can help to avoid the droplet from impacting upon the channel wall.

This paper reports numerical simulations of fluid mixing in a rotating microchannel with a microchamber fabricated on a CD-like substrate. The sample fluids are driven by the centrifugal force and brought in contact at a Y-shaped junction, and then the mixing flow moves through a straight channel with a circular chamber where the main course of mixing takes place. The CD-like micromixer is rotated clockwise at speeds ranging from 300 to1200 rpm. With increasing rotational speed, the mixing efficiency is found dropping in the lower range (≤ 540 rpm), where the diffusion still dominates the mixing, and then grows progressively to reach as much as 90%. The progressively growth in the higher speed range significantly improves the slightly descending and flat distribution for a straight mixing channel without a circular chamber. This significant enhancement of mixing is due mainly to the vortices generated in the circular chamber and the strong transverse flow induced by the Coriolis force.
