A simple method for evaluating chaotic advection in slug micromixing is reported in this paper. We consider a slug moving in a slit microchannel (w⪢h) and flow field in a plane far from the boundary walls is modelled as a two-dimensional low-Reynolds-number flow (Stokes flow). Analytical solution fo...
