Effects of a Surfactant on the Motion of a Confined Gas-liquid Interface. the Influence of the Peclet Number
نویسنده
چکیده
The displacement of a liquid initially contained in a capillary tube or between two closely spaced parallel plates by a gas phase, is largely affected by the presence of a soluble surfactant. The distribution of the surface active solute within the bulk and along the interface depends on the relative strength of convection, diffusion and the kinetics of adsorption/desorption. In this work, a complete description of the velocity and concentration fields in the bulk and along the interface is presented for several values of the Péclet number. The influence of this parameter on the film thickness is also analyzed.

Effect of Nondimensional Parameters On the Internal Circulation of a Liquid Drop Moving with the Surrounding Gas
The internal flow circulation dynamics of a liquid drop moving in a co- or counter-flowing gas stream has been numerically studied. The present work is concerned with the time accurate numerical solution of the two phase flow field at the low Mach number limit with an appropriate volume tracking method to capture motion and deformation of a liquid drop. It is shown that relative velocity betwee...

متن کاملInvestigating the Effects of Mass Transfer and Mixture Non-Ideality on Multiphase Flow Hydrodynamics Using CFD Methods
A numerical framework has been proposed to model the interacting effects of mixture non-ideality and mass transfer on hydrodynamics of a multiphase system using CFD methods.Mass transfer during condensation and vaporization is modeled by chemical potential at the liquid-vapor interface. Species mass transfers are related to the diffusion at the interface which in turn is related to the conc...
متن کاملThe Influence of Bicomponent Mixed Surfactants on Drop/Interface Coalescence
Effects of binary mixtures of ionic/nonionic (sodium dodecyl sulfate/2-heptanol or 1-decanol) and nonionic/nonionic surfactants (2-heptnol/1-decanol) on drop/interface coalescence of water drops in a continuous n-heptane phase were examined. The drop size reduced appreciably and the multi-step coalescence was suppressed finally as the concentration of each of the constituting components</em...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of the fluid dynamics in a 3D spherical model of partially liquefied vitreous due to eye movements under planar interface conditions
Partially liquefied vitreous humor is a common physical and biochemical degenerative change in vitreous body which the liquid component gets separated from collagen fiber network and leads to form a region of liquefaction. The main objective of this research is to investigate how the oscillatory motions influence flow dynamics of partial vitreous liquefaction (PVL). So far computational fluid d...
