Abstract:Removing particles dispersed in fluid through drops is widely presented in various fields, and the critical factor is particles captured by droplets. Drop rotation effects play a dominant role in the capture process. However, their influences on collection characteristics remain unclear. Thus, a particle collection model was developed to simultaneously consider rotation and translation effects on fine particles captured by an individual droplet. The finite volume method was used to solve for flow field and col… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
