326 CIP Simulation of Droplet Formation in a Microchannel
Details
Droplet-based microfluidic systems have shown to be capable of performing a variety of digital fluidic operations. To make more use of them, it is important to obtain a better understanding of mechanism on formation of micro-droplet. This paper aims to investigate numerically the formation of micro-droplet by CIP method, which is in recent years widely used method for multiphase flow researches. In this paper, we describe a computational scheme based on CIP CSLR, and the analysis result of droplet formation in a microchannel. We compared the analysis result with the experimental result, and discussed the reason of the difference.
