Numerical Simulation of Droplet Ejection Based on VOF Method

Abstract:

Taking ejection process of the ink droplets from ink-jet nozzle as the prototype, a similar numerical model of droplet ejection was established. The VOF method was applied to track the interface of droplet ejection process and it is shown that the numerical results simulated by the VOF method were accurate and reliable. Six kinds of liquid with different physical properties were chosen as the research object. The numerical results were analyzed and compared. Finally, the effect of the surface tension, viscosity and density on the droplet ejection process was discussed.
