Density and Viscosity Ratio Effects in Droplet Formation
New results are reported on the propagation of a vortex ring through immiscible fluid interfaces in the limit of high Weber number in microgravity and in I-G. The main objective of the tests is to detennine the effect of density and viscosity ratios on the dynamics of the interaction. It is shown that density ratio plays a controlling role in determining the outcome of the interaction. For smal...
متن کاملsimulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
Droplet Formation in a T-junction Microfluidic Device in the Presence of an Electric Field
In this work, the effect of applying an electric field on droplet formation in a T-junction microfluidic device is examined by simulations based on a recent technique known as lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). The electric field is applied in the main channel just beyond the confluence of the continuous and dispersed phases. A combined electrohydrodynamics-multiphase model that can simulate the f...
متن کاملDroplet Formation at Microfluidic T-junctions
Analysis of droplet formation in microfluidic systems is important to understand the operation of these devices, and to permit optimal design and process control. Droplet formation in microfluidic Tjunction devices was studied using experimental and numerical methods. The simulations agree well with experimental data from PDMS devices; they show that droplet pinch-off is controlled not by visco...
متن کاملDroplet breakup in an asymmetric microfluidic T junction.
Breakup of non-uniform droplets in an asymmetric T junction consisting of an inlet channel and two different-size outlet channels has been investigated numerically. Also, an analytical approach in the limit of the lubrication approximation has been extended to provide some analytical relations to study the system and verify the numerical results. Parameters that are important in the performance...
