The presence of surfactants alters the dynamics of viscous drops immersed in an ambient viscous fluid. This is specifically true at small scales, such as in applications of droplet based microfluidics, where the interface dynamics become of…
A weakly conducting liquid droplet immersed in another leaky dielectric liquid can exhibit rich dynamical behaviors under the effect of an applied electric field. Depending on material properties and field strength, the nonlinear coupling…
Performing highly accurate simulations of droplet systems is a challenging problem. This is primarily due to the interface dynamics which is complicated further by the addition of surfactants. This paper presents a boundary integral method…
We study the pairwise interactions of drops in an applied uniform DC electric field within the framework of the leaky dielectric model. We develop three-dimensional numerical simulations using the boundary integral method and an analytical…
A highly accurate method for simulating surfactant-covered droplets in two-dimensional Stokes flow with solid boundaries is presented. The method handles both periodic channel flows of arbitrary shape and stationary solid constrictions. A…
We study the effect of surfactant on the pairwise interactions of drops in an applied uniform DC electric field using a combination of numerical simulations based on a boundary integral formulation and an analytical theory assuming small…
Weakly conducting dielectric liquid drops suspended in another dielectric liquid and subject to an applied uniform electric field exhibit a wide range of dynamical behaviors contingent on field strength and material properties. These…
This paper is devoted to the numerical study of droplet impact on solid substrates in presence of surfactants. We formulate the problem in an energetically variational framework and introduce an incompressible Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes…
We present a novel immersed boundary method that implements acoustic perturbation theory to model an acoustically levitated droplet. Instead of resolving sound waves numerically, our hybrid method solves acoustic scattering…
We adapt and extend a formulation for soluble surfactant transport in multiphase flows recently presented by Muradoglu & Tryggvason (JCP 274 (2014) 737-757) to the context of the Level Contour Reconstruction Method (Shin et al. IJNMF 60…
A nonlinear three-dimensional small-deformation theory is presented for a leaky dielectric drop coated with a dilute monolayer of insoluble apolar surfactant and subjected to a uniform DC electric field. The theory is developed within the…
A hybrid sharp-interface immersed-boundary/front-tracking (IB/FT) method is developed for interface-resolved simulation of evaporating droplets in incompressible multiphase flows. A one-field formulation is used to solve the flow, species…
Surfactants reside at the interface of two-phase flows and significantly influence the flow dynamics. Numerical simulations are essential for a comprehensive understanding of such surfactant-laden flows and require a method that can…
The effects of surfactant coating on a deformable viscous drop under the combined action of a shear flow and a uniform electric field, are investigated by solving the coupled equations of electrostatics, fluid flow and surfactant transport.…
The present study deals with the numerical as well as asymptotic analysis of the electrohydrodynamic interaction between two deformable droplets in a confined shear flow. Considering both the phases as leaky dielectric, we have performed…
The immersed boundary method is a mathematical framework for modeling fluid-structure interaction. This formulation describes the momentum, viscosity, and incompressibility of the fluid-structure system in Eulerian form, and it uses…
