Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Droplet dynamics involves multi-scale forces from inertia body force, interior viscous shear stress to surface tension. The main purpose of this thesis is to simulate the normal impact of a liquid droplet on a hydrophobic surface by solving for the Navier-Stokes equations. The numerical results obtained is used to evaluate the effects of variable parameters on the droplet deformation evolution. The numerical simulation also works as a complimentary part of the experimental exploration, by the group members in the Droplet-Surface Impact Project in Northeastern University. The computational tool used is OpenFOAM, an open source CFD software package licensed and distributed by the OpenFOAM Foundation. The specific solver used is interFoam for this two phase problem. Water is modeled as a representative of the Newtonian fluids, while blood is modeled to represent non-Newtonian fluids. Multiple variables of the droplet-surface impact are investigated numerically: initial velocity, droplet diameter, transport properties, all of which contributes to a variation of the Weber number. The numerical results obtained for water droplets are supported by experimental data and also semi-empirical correlations. The spreading behavior and generation of ripples are in good agreement with that observed in the experimental tests. As the capillary effects become more dominant in the recoiling period, a discrepancy starts to show by a pre-maturely generated secondary droplet in simulation. Possible reasons are speculated for this discrepancy between numerical and experimental results. In the numerical comparison between water and blood droplets, a resemblance of droplet behavior in the initial spreading process is observed, while the recoiling process shows differences: blood droplets rebound in an "irregular" way compared to water droplets. The difference in deformation behaviors caused by varied transport properties leads to a way of distinguishing liquids by simple droplet-surface impact tests.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive overview of fluid mechanical, thermal and physico-chemical aspects of drop-surface interactions. Basic physical mechanisms pertaining to free-surface flow phenomena characteristic of drop impact on solid and liquid surfaces are explained emphasizing the importance of scaling. Moreover, physico-chemical fundamentals relating to a forced spreading of complex solutions, analytical tools for calculating compressibility effects, and heat transfer and phase change phenomena occurring during solidification and evaporation processes, respectively, are introduced in detail. Finally, numerical approaches particularly suited for modeling drop-surface interactions are consisely surveyed with a particular emphasis on boundary integral methods and Navier-Stokes algorithms (volume of fluid, level set and front tracking algorithms). The book is closed by contributions to a workshop on Drop-Surface Interactions held at the International Centre of Mechanical Sciences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study of droplet spreading has many industrial applications of which, ink jet printing, plasma spraying, fire extinguishers are but a few. These applications need a detailed and fundamental understanding of the droplet spreading physics, which is divided into four phases. In the present work, two of these phases, namely, the spreading phase, and equilibrium phase have been analyzed. Since droplet spreading is a dynamic phenomenon where the surface of the droplet changes with time, capturing these changes requires a two-phase approach called volume of fluid (VOF) method. The VOF method uses an advection equation to determine the interface between the liquid and the surrounding air. At the intersection of this interface with a solid boundary is a point common to all three phases, solid, gas, and liquid. At the liquid-solid-gas contact point, contact-angle is the angle between the solid surface and the tangent to the liquid-gas interface, the contact-angle can also vary with time. A number of contact-angle models have been proposed and used in simulations of droplet spreading research reported in literature. The present study is a systematic analysis of the most widely used contact-angle models, which include both, static and dynamic contact-angle models, on surfaces with varying wettability, i.e. hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces. To compile the contact-angle models, an open source code, OpenFOAM was used. Results from simulations are presented and compared with those from experiments, conducted by Pasandideh Fard et al. [21] and Vadillo et al. [26]. In addition, two parameters, called the maximum spreading diameter, and the equilibrium spreading diameter, were also analyzed in detail. The results indicated that, using the static contact angle models over-predicted the maximum spreading diameter for the hydrophilic case, whereas the equilibrium spreading diameter was under-predicted. In case of the hydrophobic surface, the maximum spreading diameter was predicted well, but the equilibrium spreading diameter was slightly under-predicted. Simulations using the dynamically varying contact angles with respect to empirical correlations and theoretical expressions slightly under-predicted the overall trend of the spreading diameter. But observations of the maximum and equilibrium diameters were predicted better. Using the experimentally measured contact-angle values as a boundary condition in the simulations improved the dynamic spreading diameter prediction.

Download or read book Droplet Dynamics Under Extreme Ambient Conditions written by Kathrin Schulte and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book presents the main results of the Collaborative Research Center SFB-TRR 75, which spanned the period from 2010 to 2022. Scientists from a variety of disciplines, ranging from thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and electrical engineering to chemistry, mathematics, computer science, and visualization, worked together toward the overarching goal of SFB-TRR 75, to gain a deep physical understanding of fundamental droplet processes, especially those that occur under extreme ambient conditions. These are, for example, near critical thermodynamic conditions, processes at very low temperatures, under the influence of strong electric fields, or in situations with extreme gradients of boundary conditions. The fundamental understanding is a prerequisite for the prediction and optimisation of engineering systems with droplets and sprays, as well as for the prediction of droplet-related phenomena in nature. The book includes results from experimental investigations as well as new analytical and numerical descriptions on different spatial and temporal scales. The contents of the book have been organised according to methodological fundamentals, phenomena associated with free single drops, drop clusters and sprays, and drop and spray phenomena involving wall interactions.

This book was released on 2011-03-10 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accurately predicting the behaviour of multiphase flows is a problem of immense industrial and scientific interest. Modern computers can now study the dynamics in great detail and these simulations yield unprecedented insight. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to direct numerical simulations of multiphase flows for researchers and graduate students. After a brief overview of the context and history the authors review the governing equations. A particular emphasis is placed on the 'one-fluid' formulation where a single set of equations is used to describe the entire flow field and interface terms are included as singularity distributions. Several applications are discussed, showing how direct numerical simulations have helped researchers advance both our understanding and our ability to make predictions. The final chapter gives an overview of recent studies of flows with relatively complex physics, such as mass transfer and chemical reactions, solidification and boiling, and includes extensive references to current work.
