Numerical simulation of droplet formation in a microchannel using the lattice Boltzmann method.

Author(s) : KIM L. S., KIM H. G., JEONG H. K., et al.

Summary

In the paper, the lattice Boltzmann method is discussed for simulating droplet formation in a microchannel. Droplets are formed by the hydrodynamic instability on the interface between two immiscible fluids when two immiscible fluids are imported simultaneously in a microchannel. The Shan & Chen model (1993), which is a lattice-Boltzmann model of two-phase flows, is used to treat the interaction between immiscible fluids.
