Abstract
Process intensification of engineering applications in the framework of reacting flows in
micromixer devices attracts the attention of engineers and scientists from various fields. With the
steadily increasing available computational resources the traditional experimentally supported
investigations may be extended by computational ones. For this purpose, a simulation framework
based on state of the art numerical techniques extended with special grid deformation techniques
has been developed. Its validation in terms of comparison with computational and experimental
results in reacting, as well as in non-reacting frameworks has been performed on the basis of the
T-mixer, and SuperFocus mixer, respectively. The computational efficiency of the developed tool
is shown to be applicable for optimization tasks, such as reverse engineering purposes.
