Mixing in passive and active microflows — •Arthur V. Straube — Department of Physics, University of Potsdam, Am Neuen Palais 10, PF 601553, D-14415 Potsdam, Germany

Recent progress and numerous applications in medicine, chemistry and biotechnology have witnessed great interest in understanding the fundamental aspects of mixing at small scales. Because of nonturbulent nature of microflows, mixing of small amounts of even passive liquids is a highly nontrivial task. For active flows, where the different liquid substances can additionally react, this problem becomes especially challenging. In this talk we start with the most important achievements of the mixing problem in passive flows and then proceed to the mixing-induced phenomena in active flows.
