Nanoparticles influence droplet formation in a T-shaped microfluidic
Droplet formation in the presence of nanoparticles was studied in a T-shaped microfluidic device numerically. Nanoparticles in continuous phase did not influence droplet formation dynamics obviously. Contrarily, the presence of nanoparticles in dispersed phase will influence evidently droplet formation dynamics, likely reasons are the accumulation of nanoparticles at the liquid-liquid interface...
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 کاملModeling of droplet breakup in a microfluidic T-shaped junction with a phase-field model.
A phase-field method is applied to the modeling of flow and breakup of droplets in a T-shaped junction in the hydrodynamic regime where capillary and viscous stresses dominate over inertial forces, which is characteristic of microfluidic devices. The transport equations are solved numerically in the three-dimensional geometry, and the dependence of the droplet breakup on the flow rates, surface...
متن کاملDroplet 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 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...
