Lattice Boltzmann Simulation of Deformation and Breakup of a Droplet under Gravity Force Using Interparticle Potential Model
Abstract In this paper interparticle potential model of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is used to simulate deformation and breakup of a falling droplet under gravity force. First this model is applied to ensure that the surface tension effect is properly implemented in this model. Two tests have been considered. First, it has been checked an initial square drop in a 2D domain can freely def...
متن کاملElectrospray cone-jet breakup and droplet production for electrolyte solutions
The production of charge droplets via the electrospray of an electrolyte is experimentally and theoretically found to be a Coulombic fission phenomenon that occurs when induced space charge at the microjet interface reaches a critical density as the charge separation approaches the Bjerrum length. The field surrounding the cone is dominated by the Taylor harmonic, which is responsible for induc...
متن کاملDesigned pneumatic valve actuators for controlled droplet breakup and generation.
The dynamic breakup of emulsion droplets was demonstrated in double-layered microfluidic devices equipped with designed pneumatic actuators. Uniform emulsion droplets, produced by shearing at a T-junction, were broken into smaller droplets when they passed downstream through constrictions formed by a pneumatically actuated valve in the upper control layer. The valve-assisted droplet breakup was...
متن کاملDroplet Breakup in High-Speed Gas Flows
Numerical simulations are performed to study the breakup of water cylinders in the flow behind normal shocks. The computational setup is similar to previous experiments (Igra and Takayama, 2001, 2003). We examine the qualitative features of the so-called stripping breakup observed in the numerical results. Two interesting flow features are discussed: the existence of recirculation regions and a...
متن کاملDroplet Breakup in Expansion-contraction Microchannels
We investigate the influences of expansion-contraction microchannels on droplet breakup in capillary microfluidic devices. With variations in channel dimension, local shear stresses at the injection nozzle and focusing orifice vary, significantly impacting flow behavior including droplet breakup locations and breakup modes. We observe transition of droplet breakup location from focusing orifice...
