Figure 4.

Generation of sub-streams represented by flow streamlines starting from inlets (blue and red). Streamlines are calculated with regard to velocity vectors obtained from the fluid flow simulation. Total number of 500 streamlines with a uniform density of starting position is plotted for each inlet. Due to the novel geometry of the mixing units, streamlines mix together as magnified views are illustrated for: (a) T-shaped inlet, (b) after passing through first mixing unit, (c) second mixing unit and (d) third mixing unit.
