Substance transfer behavior controlled by droplet internal circulation

thermal radiation heat transfer effects on single fuel droplet heat up considering it’s internal circulation

high temperatures are often encountered in almost all of the combustion systems, therefore, thermal radiation heat transfer can influence the droplets heat up rate and consequently their life time. in this paper, the effect of thermal radiation heat transfer is investigated for two cases of directional and spherically symmetric illuminations. the flow and temperature fields insdie and outside o...

Not for Circulation for Internal Circulation for Public Circulation

Fsp27 promotes lipid droplet growth by lipid exchange and transfer at lipid droplet contact sites

Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic cellular organelles that control many biological processes. However, molecular components determining LD growth are poorly understood. Genetic analysis has indicated that Fsp27, an LD-associated protein, is important in controlling LD size and lipid storage in adipocytes. In this paper, we demonstrate that Fsp27 is focally enriched at the LD-LD contacting site (...

Water circulation in non-isothermal droplet-laden turbulent channel flow

We propose a point-particle model for two-way coupling of water droplets dispersed in turbulent flow of a carrier gas consisting of air and water vapor. An incompressible flow formulation is applied for direct numerical simulation (DNS) of turbulent channel flow with a warm and a cold wall. Compared to simulations without droplets or with solid particles a significant increase in Nusselt number...

Effect of Slip on Circulation Inside a Droplet

Internal recirculation in a moving droplet, enforced by the presence of fluid–fluid interfaces, plays an important role in several droplet-based microfluidic devices as it could enhance mixing, heat transfer, and chemical reaction. The effect of slip on droplet circulation is studied for two canonical steady-state problems: two-phase Couette, boundary-driven, and Poiseuille, pressure/body force...
