A Numerical Framework for Free Surface Flow and Wettability Based on Arbitrary Lagrange-Eulerian Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

A mathematic model based on moving mesh Arbitrary Lagrange-Eulerian (ALE) is developed to solve incompressible fluid flow concerned with the free surface and wettability. A mercury sessile drop with different wetting angles is chosen to validate this method. Besides, two more extensive applications called electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) and transferred drop are numerically simulated and compared with previous researchers work in order to demonstrate its efficiency.
