A finite-element model for computing fluid flow inside a sessile evaporating droplet on a solid surface | | Manish Kumar

7 Sep 2020 | | Abstract: | A finite element model was developed to compute the fluid flow inside a
sessile evaporating droplet on hydrophilic substrate in ambient conditions. The
evaporation is assumed as quasi-steady and the flow is considered as
axisymmetric with a pinned contact line. The Navier-Stokes equations in
cylindrical coordinates were solved inside the droplet. Galerkin weight
residual approach and velocity pressure formulation was used to discretise the
governing equations. Six node triangular mesh and quadratic shape functions
were used to obtain higher accuracy solutions. Radial velocity profiles in
axial directions calculated by the FEM solver were compared with a existing
analytical model and were found in excellent agreement. The contours of
velocity magnitude and streamlines show the characteristic flow i.e. radially
outward inside the evaporating droplet. | | Source: | arXiv, 2009.03188 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
