Numerical Study on High Prandtl Number Liquid Bridge

Article Preview

Abstract:

The overall numerical analysis of liquid bridge for high Pr number fluid and flow field of ambient air under the zero-gravity environment was carried out in the present paper. The paper used level set method of mass conservation to capture two phase interfaces. Not only the free surface deformation was considered, but also the effect of ambient gas was taken into account. Simultaneously, results of stream function in liquid bridge and ambient gas-phase were given.
