微型方直管中液滴的流动与变形

Flow and Deformation of Droplets in a Microfluidic Straight Quadratic Device

  • 摘要: 讨论了二相流体在微型管中的流动问题、边界条件与表面浸润现象,给出了微型管中二相流体的输运方程.针对方形微型管道,利用有限差分法给出了输运方程的数值求解方法.模拟了方形直管中单个和多个液滴的流动与变形过程,通过数值模拟结果发现,量纲为一的参数Pe和C</em>a对液滴的变形有很大影响,随着Pe的增大,液滴的变形急剧增大,当毛细数在0.35~0.50之间时,液滴尾部的曲率逐渐减小,由正值开始变成负值,形成一个凹陷.

     

    Abstract: Based on the phase-field method, the problem of two-phase flow in a micro-fluidic device and the interaction of the fluid components with a wall are discussed, and the transport equations for the two-phase flow given. Then, a numerical technique to solve equations for micro-fluidic quadrate devices is proposed by the finite difference method, and the numerical simulation of the flow and deformation of a droplet and multiple droplets in a cubic pipe demonstrated. It is found that the dimensionless constants Pe, C</em>a are important parameters, and affect the deformation of the droplet. The deformation of the droplet increases with high Pe. If the parameter C</em>a is between 0.35 and 0.50, the curvature at the end of the droplet decreases gradually from a positive value to negative, and become concave at the end.
