Simulations of splashing high and low viscosity droplets
Arnout M. P. Boelens, Juan J. de Pablo
In this work simulations are presented of low viscosity ethanol and high viscosity silicone oil droplets impacting on a dry solid surface at atmospheric and reduced ambient pressur…
Drop splashing is independent of substrate wetting
Andrzej Latka, Arnout M. P. Boelens, Sidney R. Nagel +1
A liquid drop impacting a dry solid surface with sufficient kinetic energy will splash, breaking apart into numerous secondary droplets. This phenomenon shows many similarities to…
Generalized Navier Boundary Condition for a Volume Of Fluid approach using a Finite-Volume method
A. M. P. Boelens, J. J. de Pablo
In this work, an analytical Volume Of Fluid (VOF) implementation of the Generalized Navier Boundary Condition is presented based on the Brackbill surface tension model. The model i…
Observation of the pressure effect in simulations of droplets splashing on a dry surface
A. M. P. Boelens, A. Latka, J. J. de Pablo
At atmospheric pressure, a drop of ethanol impacting on a solid surface produces a splash. Reducing the ambient pressure below its atmospheric value suppresses this splash. The ori…
Rotational relaxation time as unifying time scale for polymer and fiber drag reduction
A. M. P. Boelens, M. Muthukumar
Using hybrid Direct Numerical Simulation with Langevin dynamics, a comparison is performed between polymer and fiber stress tensors in turbulent flow. The stress tensors are found…
