Modeling pattern formation in soft flowing crystals
arXiv:2006.12197 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevFluids.4.072201
Abstract
We present a mesoscale representation of near-contact interactions between colliding droplets which permits to reach up to the scale of full microfluidic devices, where such droplets are produced. The method is demonstrated for the case of colliding droplets and the formation of soft flowing crystals in flow-focussing microfluidic devices. This model may open up the possibility of multiscale simulation of microfluidic devices for the production of new droplet/bubble-based mesoscale porous materials.
