Simulation results showing Dean vortices in the lemniscate-shaped micromixers. (a) In the absence of the twisting threads, the Dean vortices, which signify the direction of the secondary flow in the channel, blend the fluids naturally. (b) The Dean vortices also affect the fluid being carried by the threads, which can increase the mixing efficiency.
