New and improved apparatus and method for thorough, non-invasive mixing of a flowing fluid stream, either continuous or segmented, are provided and, as disclosed, are embodied in a mixing conduit which comprises a plurality of interconnected bends, which may be in the form of arcuate coils or sections, successive arcuate sections being operable to establish secondary flow patterns in differing orientations within the flowing fluid stream, or individual segments thereof. Such arcuate sections may be disposed in a same plane, if formed in serpentine fashion, or in non-parallel, preferably orthogonal planes, if formed in a tortuous fashion. Also, the arcuate sections, or a series thereof may be formed in stacked fashion and located in essentially parallel planes.
