Transverse spin angular momentum (SAM) of photon, also known as ‘photonic wheel’, has attracted much attention, owing to its extraordinary properties and broad application prospect. Thus, it is essential flexibly manipulate the transverse SAM in order satisfy different needs. In this article, we design generate a new kind symmetrically modulated hybridly polarized vector optical field (SM-HP-VO...

The capillary time-step constraint is the dominant limitation on applicable in many simulations of interfacial flows with surface tension and, consequently, governs execution time these simulations. We propose a fully-coupled pressure-based algorithm based an algebraic Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) method conjunction implicit linearised treatment that can breach constraint. advection interface solved t...

A numerical and experimental investigation was conducted to analyze dropwise evaporative cooling of heated surfaces with various wettability characteristics. The surface wettability was tuned by nanostructure modifications. Spray-cooling experiments on these surfaces show that surfaces with better wettability have better heat transfer rate and higher critical heat flux (CHF). Single droplet imp...

The problem of normal incidence impact with solidification of a spherical liquid metal droplet onto a rigid planar substrate is studied. The Navier-Stokes equations are solved using a finite-volume formulation with a fixed grid. The free surface of the droplet is tracked by the volume-of-fluid (VOF) method. The surface tension on the droplet surface is evaluated by a continuum surface force (CS...

Abstract With the development of simulation technology and programs, it became necessary to study models that control equations’ solutions influence results. The having over solving equations multiple phases materials are investigated. They include (Volume Fluid (VOF), mixture, Eulerian) controlling governing equations. was conducted depending on boiling point water. activation these three is c...

In the present paper, a finite volume method (FVM) based software is used in the simulation of simulation of non Newtonian flow between two parallel plates and flip chip packaging are presented. 3D of two parallel plates with different gap heights are developed and simulated by Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) code, FLUENT 6.3.26. The power law equation was used to describe the NonNewtonian be...

Droplet motion is important in discrete microfluidic operations as well as in emerging site-specific cooling techniques based on electrowetting. The present work reports on carefully characterized experiments that map the shape, advancing and receding contact angles, and contact area of droplets sliding under gravitational actuation as a function of droplet size and velocity. A pseudo-Lagrangia...

A comparative performance analysis of the CFD platforms OpenFOAM and FLOW-3D is presented, focusing on a 3D swirling turbulent flow: a steady hydraulic jump at low Reynolds number. Turbulence is treated using RANS approach RNG k-ε. A Volume Of Fluid (VOF) method is used to track the airewater interface, consequently aeration is modeled using an EulerianeEulerian approach. Structured meshes of c...
