  1. We present a novel configuration to generate strong acoustic streaming vortices by a pinned oscillating membrane in a microchannel, its characterizations via advanced measurement techniques, and initial studies in application by augmentation of gas exchange across a permeable membrane towards microfluidic artificial lung technology. The configuration is stable over time and does not create any obstruction in flow passages. For an audible- frequency 20 Vpp input to a piezo buzzer, streaming velocity was measured up to 47 mm/s. Mixing from helical flow patterns in the microchannel augments gas transfer rate across the membrane up to 3.4 times compared to no actuation, allowing larger channel dimensions (better facilitation of scale-up manufacturing) and reduced shear (more hemocompatible) in microchannel-based artificial lung systems.
