Micromixing has a wide range of biomedical and biochemical applications. Therefore, many researchers have studied this type of microfluidic devices and have attempted to propose a design with better efficiency. Micromixers are classified as passive and active based on their mixing method (whether external energy source is used to improve mixing or not). The active micromixers have attracted the attentions due to their simple configuration and higher efficiency compared with the passive ones. Induced charge electrokinetic (ICEK) micromixers are the active mixers which have introduced in the recent decade. In the present paper, a novel ICEK micromixer is presented in which two hurdles are placed in the micro-chamber of a micromixer. After determining the efficient configuration for the hurdles, the optimized position of these two hurdles in the microchamber is determined by Nelder–Mead optimization algorithm.

基于感应电荷电动的微混合器的仿真与优化

微混合具有广泛的生物医学和生化应用。因此，许多研究人员对这种类型的微流体装置进行了研究，并试图提出一种效率更高的设计。微混合器根据其混合方法（是否使用外部能源来改善混合）分为被动式和主动式。主动微混合器由于与被动微混合器相比具有简单的配置和更高的效率而引起了人们的关注。感应电荷电动 (ICEK) 微混合器是近十年来推出的有源混合器。在本文中，提出了一种新型 ICEK 微混合器，其中两个障碍物放置在微混合器的微腔中。在确定障碍物的有效配置后，
