AB -  In this paper we study a mixing scheme, which has recently been proposed for microfluids, on the nanoscale. We do this by performing a series of nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. On the nanoscale the chaotic mixing regime is captured. We discover a new phenomenon where the two mixing fluids exchange positions after leaving the mixing intersection. The results from the molecular dynamics simulations also reveal complex spatio-temporal stream velocity profiles generated by the mixing device. We find that these profiles can be modelled through an approximate analytical solution to the Navier–Stokes equation.
