Mixing Enhancement for Binary Fluids Using PDE-Constrained Optimization
Explore a 35-minute conference talk on enhancing mixing efficiency for binary fluids through PDE-constrained optimization. Delve into the research of Maximilian Eggl and Peter J. Schmid, who propose innovative approaches to improve stirring protocols and stirrer shapes. Learn how their gradient-based framework targets both stirring strategy and cross-sectional stirrer shape to achieve better mixedness within energy constraints. Discover the significant improvements in fluid homogeneity achieved through this optimization method. Gain insights from Eggl's presentation and the subsequent Q&A session moderated by PRFluids Editorial Board Member Viswanathan Kumaran, offering a comprehensive look at this promising advancement in fluid mixing technology.
