Dripping and Jetting in Coflowing liquid Streams
Drop formation and dripping and jetting phenomena occur in an extremely large variety of situation, spanning a broad range of physical length scales. In this paper, we study the dynamics of dripping-to-jetting transition for two immiscible coflowing liquid streams numerically. Two different classes of transition are identified. In both cases, nonlinear dynamical phenomena such as period doublin...
متن کاملSHORT COMMUNICATION Correlations of droplet formation in T-junction microfluidic devices: from squeezing to dripping
In this work, we have systematically analyzed the scaling law of droplet formation by cross-flow shear method in T-junction microfluidic devices. The droplet formation mechanisms can be distinguished by the capillary number for the continuous phase (Cac), which are the squeezing regime (Cac \ 0.002), dripping regime (0.01 \ Cac \ 0.3), and the transient regime (0.002 \ Cac\ 0.01). Three corresp...
متن کاملBreakup dynamics and dripping-to-jetting transition in a Newtonian/shear-thinning multiphase microsystem.
The breakup dynamics in non-Newtonian multiphase microsystems is associated with a variety of industrial applications such as food production and biomedical engineering. In this study, we numerically and experimentally characterize the dripping-to-jetting transition under various flow conditions in a Newtonian/shear-thinning multiphase microsystem. Our work can help to predict the formation of ...
متن کاملHigh-speed Microfluidic Production of Phase-change Droplets for Gas Embolotherapy and as a Novel On-chip Pump
We report on a microfluidic device and droplet formation regime capable of generating clinical-scale quantities of liquid perfluoropentane droplets suitable in size and functionality for gas embolotherapy. We examine three modes of droplet formation in our flow-focusing device – geometry-controlled, dripping, and jetting – then use the dripping regime to generate highly monodisperse droplets in...
متن کاملUniversal dripping and jetting in a transverse shear flow.
One particularly efficient approach to making emulsions having monosized droplets is to push a fluid through an orifice into a transverse flow of a second immiscible fluid. We find that, at an intermediate particle Reynolds number, the final droplet size can be readily computed using a simple force balance. Remarkably like the well-known dripping faucet, this system displays both dripping and j...
