Abstract
A passive planar micromixer with rapid mixing has been successfully demonstrated by simulations and experiments. The structure of this micromixer contains ellipse-like micropillars in the main channel. Adding micropillars to micromixer will reduce the diffusion distance of the fluids. So, this type of design can improve mixing efficiency.
