Mixing of two miscible flows with a radial conductivity stratification in a micro-pipe can be enhanced by an axial electric field. The mechanism is interpreted by a linear stability analysis. The effect of ionic diffusion on rapid mixing between the two liquids is discussed. A case study shows that,...
