Abstract:Binary droplet collision is a fundamental aspect of various natural phenomena and industrial applications. In this work, direct numerical simulation of coalescence and separation of binary droplet collision is performed over a wide range of Weber numbers and impact factors. The incompressible Navier–Stokes equations are solved by the finite volume approach, coupled with the volume of fluid method. To address the inaccurate prediction of thin lamella in simulation, a lamella stabilization method is introduced t… Show more
