Thermocapillary motion of deformable drops and bubbles
In this paper we report on a numerical method to include Marangoni forces into a finitevolume solver for multi-phase flows. Our work is motivated by the question of whether thermal fluctuations typically found in combustion applications can impact the atomization of fuel drops due to variations in surface tension. To verify and validate our proposed method, we compare our results to theoretical...
متن کاملThermocapillary Pumping of Discrete Drops in Microfabricated Analysis Devices
( ) A nonmechanical pumping mechanism, thermocapillary pumping TCP , is described for mo®ing nanoliterand picoliter-sized drops of liquid within microfabricated flow channels. In TCP, one end of a single drop is heated to create a surface tension difference between the ends of the drop. The induced surface tension difference causes a capillary pressure difference between the two drop ends and r...
متن کاملSurfactant effects on thermocapillary interactions of deformable drops.
A three-dimensional boundary-integral algorithm is used to study thermocapillary interactions of two deformable drops in the presence of bulk-insoluble, non-ionic surfactant. The primary effect of deformation is to slow down the rate of film drainage between drops in close approach and prevent coalescence in the absence of van der Waals forces. Both linear and non-linear models are used to desc...
متن کاملPlanar thermocapillary migration of two bubbles in microgravity environment
A theoretical investigation is performed on the thermocapillary motion of two bubbles in arbitrary configuration in microgravity environment under the assumption that the surface tension is high enough to keep the bubbles spherical. The two bubbles are driven by the surface tension gradient due to temperature nonuniformity on the surfaces. The bubble interaction is considered for the limit of s...
متن کاملExperimental investigation on thermocapillary drop migration at large Marangoni number in reduced gravity.
Results from a space experiment on thermocapillary drop migration conducted on board the Chinese spacecraft ShenZhou-4 are presented in this paper. In the experiment, isolated drops of Fluorinert liquid moved in a matrix liquid of 5cst silicone oil at values of the Marangoni numbers (Ma) ranging up to 5500 and the interferometry images showed the temperature distribution inside the test cell. T...
