[ 1 ] - A numerical study of droplet deformation in a flat funnelform microchannel

Motivated by recent reported experiments, droplet deformation in a flat funnelform diverging microfluidic channel has been numerically studied. The structure of our microchannel is composed of two consecutive elements including a straight channel and a diverging channel. In this work, instead of solving the 3D Stokes equation, we solve a depth-averaged problem which is labeled two-dimensional p...
