چکیده
Recent studies show that hydrodynamic interactions qualitatively change the collision rate between droplets settling in a steady straining flow. We explain dependence of on non-dimensional speed by analyzing bifurcations underlying dynamical system.

Eulerian-lagrangian Modelling with Stochastic Approach for Droplet-droplet Collisions
In recent years, there has been growing interest to use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for exploring dropletparticles interaction under the turbulent flow of air inside spray dryer systems. The final goal is to predict the dried solid particle size and mass flux distributions under the conditions of collision, coalescence and agglomeration of the droplets and particles. The coarse-grained s...
متن کاملRebounding droplet-droplet collisions on superhydrophobic surfaces: from the phenomenon to droplet logic.
When water droplets impact each other while traveling on a superhydrophobic surface, we demonstrate that they are able to rebound like billiard balls. We present elementary Boolean logic operations and a flip-flop memory based on these rebounding water droplet collisions. Furthermore, bouncing or coalescence can be easily controlled by process parameters. Thus by the controlled coalescence of r...
متن کاملA Computational Study of Viscoelastic Droplet Collisions
A computational study of oblique binary viscoelastic droplet collisions is performed. The free surface is modeled by a Lagrangian moving-mesh interface tracking method which is validated against analytical solutions and experimental data for binary Newtonian droplet collisions. Interpolation error due to cell deformation is minimized with a local topological mesh adaptation algorithm. This meth...
متن کاملPreferred location of droplet collisions in turbulent flows.
This study investigates the local flow characteristics near droplet-droplet collisions by means of direct numerical simulation of isotropic cloudlike turbulence. The key finding is that, generally, droplets do not collide where they preferentially concentrate. Preferential concentration is found to happen as expected in regions of low enstrophy (vorticity magnitude), but collisions tend to take...
متن کاملDroplet collisions after liquid jet breakup in microgravity conditions
The droplet dynamics and collisions after a liquid jet breakup have been experimentally studied in low gravity conditions. An experimental setup was designed in order to be used at the I.N.T.A. Drop Tower, which allows for 2.1 seconds of microgravity. The dynamics of distilled water jets injected into a rectangular tank was recorded by means of a high-speed video camera. Observations of the dro...
