Advection-enhanced heat and mass transport from neutrally suspended droplet in simple shear flow

Advection-enhanced heat and mass transport from a single droplet neutrally suspended in simple shear flow has been studied using high-fidelity numerical simulation. The capillary number ranges 0.01 to 0.5, which encompasses the entire range of small deformation, large breakup droplets. Reynolds is 1, including regions both weak strong advection. temperature concentration are modeled as passive scalar released at surface. Two Schmidt numbers, 10 100, considered, for advection plays role scalar. For unbroken droplets, interaction between carrier fluid leads several different flows around droplet. motions together with diffusion constitute coupled mechanism dependence release rate on Peclet numbers can be roughly described by correlation rigid sphere. broken basic features during process elongation similar those an variation decomposed into stages, corresponding breakup. exhibits high capillary, Reynolds, numbers.
