本研究設計一低雷諾數下之被動式微混合器，並以計算流體力學為工具研讀其三維流場及其混合效率。本研究在基本T-tube混合器的主流道進口處加裝一轉接頭，其目的在(1)產生超過一個以上的混合界面；（2）減少完全混合所需的混合距離。本研究中以產生三個混合界面並使混合距離減半的轉接頭為例，研讀此設計所能達到的混合效率。

The low Reynolds number flow field of a novel micromixer design is studied in detail using Computational fluid dynamics. The mixer being studied is based on the T-tube micromixer with a converter section added to the beginning of the main flow channel. The converter is designed to increase the number of mixing interface and to decrease the mixing distance necessary for a complete mixing. In this work a converter capable of generating three interface and cutting the mixing distance by half is designed and studied in defuel.
