A diffuse-interface model for electrowetting drops in a Hele-Shaw cell
Electrowetting has recently been explored as a mechanism for moving small amounts of fluids in confined spaces. We propose a diffuse interface model for drop motion, due to electrowetting, in a Hele-Shaw geometry. In the limit of small interface thickness, asymptotic analysis shows the model is equivalent to Hele-Shaw flow with a voltagemodified Young-Laplace boundary condition on the free surf...
متن کاملExperimental study of the shape and motion of flattened drops in a Hele-Shaw Cell
> The motion and shape of a flattened drop and bubble through another continuous liquid phase (conveying phase) are investigated experimentally, using a narrow gap HeleShaw cell. Seven different liquid-liqu...
متن کاملA Diffuse Interface Model for Electrowetting with Moving Contact Lines
We introduce a diffuse interface model for the phenomenon of electrowetting on dielectric and present an analysis of the arising system of equations. Moreover, we study discretization techniques for the problem. The model takes into account different material parameters on each phase and incorporates the most important physical processes, such as incompressibility, electrostatics and dynamic co...
متن کاملScaling crossover in thin-film drag dynamics of fluid drops in the Hele-Shaw cell
We study both experimentally and theoretically the descending motion due to gravity of a fluid drop surrounded by another immiscible fluid in a confined space between two parallel plates, i.e., in the Hele-Shaw cell. As a result, we show a new scaling regime of a nonlinear drag friction in viscous liquid that replaces the well-known Stokes' drag friction through a clear collapse of experimental...
متن کاملSedimenting sphere in a variable-gap Hele-Shaw cell
We have measured the trajectory and visualized the wake of a single sphere falling in a fluid confined between two closely spaced glass plates (a Hele-Shaw cell). The position of a sedimenting sphere was measured to better than 0.001d , where d is the sphere diameter, for Reynolds numbers (based on the terminal velocity) between 20 and 330, for gaps between the plates ranging from 1.014d to 1.4...
