NON-INVASIVE MIXING OF LIQUIDS

An apparatus (100) for mixing a fluid (F) comprises a mixing container (10) with a container wall (11) for holding the fluid (F). One or more acoustic transducers (21, 22) are arranged on the container wall (11) and configured to generate respective acoustic waves (W1, W2) directed into the fluid (F...

Zusammenfassung:An apparatus (100) for mixing a fluid (F) comprises a mixing container (10) with a container wall (11) for holding the fluid (F). One or more acoustic transducers (21, 22) are arranged on the container wall (11) and configured to generate respective acoustic waves (W1, W2) directed into the fluid (F) for causing a respective flow pattern (F1, F2) in the fluid (F) by acoustic streaming. A controller (15) is configured to control the acoustic transducers (21, 22) to automatically switch between generation of different acoustic waves (W1, W2) for causing switching between different flow patterns (F1, F2).
