Abstract: A simulation method was used to study the effects of physical parameters, including the contact angle between molten metal and material of orifice, surface tension and viscosity on particle formation of POEM. Droplets can be stably obtained only when the contact angel is at least 90° or larger, as well as the surface tension is adequate. Within a wide range, viscosity has little effect on droplet formation; as the viscosity increases, necking time is postponed and vibration time is shortened.
