ABSTRACT:
A microelectromechanical system mixes a fluid using predominantly planar laminar flow. The microelectromechanical system includes a mixing chamber and a set of valves to establish the planar laminar flow in the mixing chamber. In one embodiment, bubble-controlled pumps are operated with bubble-controlled valves to establish the predominantly planar laminar flow in the mixing chamber. The bubble-controlled pumps and valves may be used to establish a pulsed double-dipole flow field in the mixing chamber.
