An Adaptive Mesh Algorithm for EvolvingSurfaces: Simulations of Drop Breakupand Coalescence
An algorithm is presented for the adaptive restructuring of meshes on evolving surfaces. The resolution of the relevant local length scale is maintained everywhere with prescribed accuracy through the minimization of an appropriate mesh energy function by a sequence of local restructuring operations. The resulting discretization depends on the instantaneous configuration of the surface but is i...
متن کاملDrop deformation, breakup, and coalescence with compatibilizer
The effect of copolymers on the breakup and coalescence of polybutadiene ~PB! drops in polydimethylsiloxane ~PDMS! is studied using a four-roll mill flow cell. Copolymers are produced at the interface by a reaction between functionalized homopolymers. They reduce the interfacial tension and thus enhance breakup; they also inhibit coalescence of drops. Under the conditions of our experiments, th...
متن کاملLattice Boltzmann simulations of drop coalescence and chemical mixing
The results of a lattice Boltzmann simulation for collisions between two liquid drops in an immiscible liquid in a linear Stokes flow will be presented. The results will be compared with existing experimental results and asymptotic solutions. The mixing of a contaminant that is initially contained in one of the drops will also be discussed and compared with particle tracking simulations. r 2005...
متن کاملCFD Simulations of an Air-Water Bubble Column: Effect of Luo Coalescence Parameter and Breakup Kernels
In this work, CFD simulations of an air-water bubbling column were performed and validated with experimental data. The superficial gas velocities used for the experiments were 0.019 and 0.038 m/s and were considered as an homogeneous regime. The former involves simpler physics when compared to a heterogeneous regime where the superficial velocities are higher. In order to simulate the system, a...
