Numerical Simulation of Droplet Motion and Two-Phase Flow Field in an Oscillating Container

The dynamic motion of the droplet in the oscillating flow field is simulated numerically using the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian and level set coupled method. It is shown that radiating flows are generated from the droplet surface in the oscillating direction and the droplet moves toward the pressur...
