In this paper, We arrange the obstacles based on the Koch fractal principle (OKF) in the micromixer. By changing the fluid flow and folding the fluid, a better mixing performance is achieved. We improve the mixing efficiency by placing OKF and changing the position of OKF, then we studied the influence of the number of OKF and the height of the micromixer on the mixing performance. The results show that when eight OKF are staggered in the microchannel and the height is 0.2 mm, the mixing efficiency of the OKF micromixer can reach 97.1%. Finally, we compared the velocity cross section and velocity streamline of the fluid, and analyzed the influence of OKF on the concentration trend. Through analysis, it is concluded that OKF can generate chaotic convection in the fluid, and enhance the mixing of fluids by generating vortices and folding the fluid. It can effectively improve the mixing efficiency of the micromixer.
