Accurate prediction of the dynamics and deformation of freely moving drops is crucial for numerous droplet applications. When the Weber number is finite but below a critical value, the drop deviates from its spherical shape and deforms as…
Heat transfer by large deformable drops in a turbulent flow is a complex and rich in physics system, in which drops deformation, breakage and coalescence influence the transport of heat. We study this problem coupling direct numerical…
