Abstract
This project will investigate mixing in microchannels. Specifically, the advection and diffusion of a passive scalar, using a split step Monte Carlo method. Numerically the implementation of this method is well understood. The current experimental geometry is a rectangular pipe with grooves on one wall. Mixing results with straight walls agree closely with experiment. The velocity field over grooves is also studied.
