This thesis examines how tiny channels, called microchannels, can be modified to improve fluid mixing for engineering applications using numerical modelling. It focuses on the influence of surface roughness and fractal designs on the movement and mixing of fluids. By combining computer simulations and advanced analysis, the thesis also highlights how these geometrical features enhance mixing efficiency, especially in low-speed flows. The findings provide invaluable insights for designing better microfluidics systems, with potential applications in areas like drug delivery, lab-on-a-chip devices, and heat management technologies.
