Droplet Dynamics of Newtonian and Inelastic Non-Newtonian Fluids in Confinement

Microfluidic droplet technology has been developing rapidly. However, precise control of dynamical behaviour of droplets remains a major hurdle for new designs. This study is to understand droplet deformation and breakup under simple shear flow in confined environment as typically found in microfluidic...
