Abstract
The MPS method is a particle method which simulates continnum dynamics with discrete one, which is dynamics of particles. Thus it is relatively easy by particle methods to simulate complicated phenomena in multiphase flows or fluid-structure interaction. In this study, a micro-dispenser reported in Lindemann et al. (2004) is simulated using the MPS method. This microfluidic device offers a challenging problem of fluid-structure interaction and multiphase flow, where deformation of the elastic tube interacts with fluid flow and droplets are ejected changing the topology of the surfaces. The results are compared with the experiment to investigate applicability of the MPS method.
