Abstract

Small liquid drops have many applications in science and technology. In microfluidics research, microscopic drops are used to facilitate micromixing, loading and dispensing reagents from micro-reactors, or to improve the efficiency of cell sorting and fluid sampling systems. Many factors can affect the micro-drop generation, such as fluid rheology, flow speed, and interaction of the fluid(gas)-fluid interface with the channel walls. In this paper, a numerical study of the generation of microscopic droplets in a micro-channel of complex geometry is presented. The multiphase flow with interface in complex micro-channel is described by a coupled immersed boundary and level-set frontcapturing methods. Comparison of the simulation with experimental results is also presented.
