Asymptotic of the velocity of a dilute suspension of droplets with interfacial tension

چکیده
In this work, we derive the asymptotic expansion of the velocity field of a small deformable droplet immersed in an incompressible Newtonian fluid. Using an appropriate physical scaling of the surface tension with respect to the droplet volume we show that the first order of the asymptotic can be expressed in terms of the velocity field in absence of the droplet and a new kind of moment tensor [2]. Moreover, we determine explicitly this tensor for ellipses and ellipsoids.

Wettability alteration has been a sophisticated issue for scientists and reservoir engineers since early 20th century; thus, many investigations have been carried out to determine wettability and enhance it to ideal conditions, which leads to improvement in oil recovery. Dilute surfactant flooding has been approved as one of the noteworthy methods in chemical flooding. Several petroleum reservo...
متن کاملDroplet Deformation in Dispersions with Unequal Viscosities and Zero Interfacial Tension
An analytical model is presented for the deformation of an ellipsoidal Newtonian droplet, suspended in another Newtonian fluid with different viscosity and zero interfacial tension. The theory is exact for any linear velocity field, and is not limited to small deformations. It encompasses some well-known special cases, such as Jeffery’s equation for solid axisymmetric particles and Taylor’s sma...

متن کاملSurface tension and the Mori-Tanaka theory of non-dilute soft composite solids.
Eshelby's theory is the foundation of composite mechanics, allowing calculation of the effective elastic moduli of composites from a knowledge of their microstructure. However, it ignores interfacial stress and only applies to very dilute composites-i.e. where any inclusions are widely spaced apart. Here, within the framework of the Mori-Tanaka multiphase approximation scheme, we extend Eshelby...
