Surface Tension-driven Flow in A
We consider an inviscid fluid, initially at rest inside a wedge, bounded by one free surface and one solid surface. When t = 0, we allow the contact angle to change discontinuously, which leads the free surface to recoil under the action of surface tension. As noted by Keller and Miksis [SIAM J. Appl. Math., 43 (1983), pp. 268–277], a similarity scaling is available, with lengths scaling like t...
متن کاملBackward flow in a surface tension driven micropump
A surface tension driven micropump harnessing the pressure difference generated by drops of different curvature radii proves to be a simple and attractive passive method to drive fluid flow in microdevices. Here we observed the appearance of backward flow when the initial sizes of the droplets at the inlet and outlet ports are similar. To explain this phenomenon several hypotheses have been inv...
متن کاملFlow rate analysis of a surface tension driven passive micropump.
A microfluidic passive pumping method relying on surface tension properties is investigated and a physical model is developed. When a small inlet drop is placed on the entrance of a microfluidic channel it creates more pressure than a large output drop at the channel exit, causing fluid flow. The behavior of the input drop occurs in two characteristic phases. An analytical solution is proposed ...
متن کاملReaction front propagation in a turbulent flow.
The propagation of reaction fronts in a turbulent fluid flow is studied by direct numerical simulations in two space dimensions. The velocity field is obtained from integrating the Navier-Stokes equation in two dimensions. We investigate the structure of the reaction front and the enhancement of the front propagation speed due to turbulent mixing. Consistently with earlier theoretical, predicti...
متن کاملOn Stokes flow driven by surface tension in the presence of a surfactant
We consider short-time existence, uniqueness, and regularity for a moving boundary problem describing Stokes flow of a free liquid drop driven by surface tension. The surface tension coefficient is assumed to be a nonincreasing function of the surfactant concentration, and the surfactant is insoluble and moves by convection along the boundary. The problem is reformulated as a fully nonlinear, n...
