Effects of spinning motion on the bouncing and coalescence between a spinning droplet and a non-spinning droplet undergoing the head-on collision were numerically studied by using a Volume-of-Fluid method. A prominent discovery is that the spinning droplet can induce significant non-axisymmetric flow features for the head-on collision of equal-size droplets composed of the same liquid. Specifically, a non-axisymmetric bouncing was observed, and it is caused by the conversion of the spinning angular momentum into the orbital angular momentum. This process is accompanied by the rotational kinetic energy loss due to the interaction between the rotational and radial flows of the droplets. A non-axisymmetric internal flow and a delayed separation after temporary coalescence were also observed, and they are caused by the enhanced interface oscillation and internal-flow-induced viscous dissipation. The spinning motion can also promote the mass interminglement of droplets because the locally non-uniform mass exchange occurs at the early collision stage by non-axisymmetric flow and is further stretched along the filament at later collision stages. In addition, it is found that the non-axisymmetric flow features increase with increasing the orthogonality of the initial translational motion and the spinning motion of droplets.
We investigate the internal flow pattern of an evaporating droplet using tomographic particle image velocimetry (PIV) when the contact line non-uniformly recedes. We observe a three-dimensional azimuthal vortex pair while the contact line non-uniform
The aim of this study is to derive accurate models for quantities characterizing the dynamics of droplets of non-vanishing viscosity in capillaries. In particular, we propose models for the uniform-film thickness separating the droplet from the tube
We study the flow forced by precession in rigid non-axisymmetric ellipsoidal containers. To do so, we revisit the inviscid and viscous analytical models that have been previously developed for the spheroidal geometry by, respectively, Poincare (Bull.
The off-center collision of binary bouncing droplets of equal size was studied numerically by a volume-of-fluid (VOF) method with two marker functions, which has been validated by comparing with available experimental results. A non-monotonic kinetic
This paper numerically investigates the shear flow between double concentric spherical boundaries rotating differentially, so-called spherical Couette flow, under unstable thermal stratification, focusing on the boundary of the axisymmetric/non-axisy
