Here, a formal and detailed sensitivity analysis of the effect of the CL ACs on the main output quantities of several prototype problems, namely the cylindrical Poiseuille, thermal creep and thermomolecular pressure difference (TPD) flows, as well as the plane Couette flow and heat transfer (Fourier flow), is performed. In each problem, some uncertainties are randomly introduced in the ACs (input parameters) and via a Monte Carlo propagation analysis, the deduced uncertainty of the corresponding main output quantity is computed. The output uncertainties are compared to each other to determine the flow configuration and the gas rarefaction range, where a high sensitivity of the output quantities with respect to the CL ACs is observed. The flow setups and rarefaction regimes with high sensitivities are the most suitable ones for the estimations of the ACs, since larger modeling and experimental errors may be acceptable. In the Poiseuille and Couette flows, the uncertainties of the flow rate and shear stress respectively are several times larger than the input uncertainty in the tangential momentum AC and much smaller than the uncertainty in the normal energy AC in a wide range of gas rarefaction. In the thermal creep flow, the uncertainty of the flow rate depends on the input ones of both ACs, but, in general, it remains smaller than the input uncertainties. A similar behavior with the thermal creep flow is obtained in the TPD flow. On the contrary, in the Fourier flow, the uncertainty of the heat flux may be about the same or even larger than the input ones of both ACs in a wide range of gas rarefaction. It is deduced that in order to characterize the gas-surface interaction via the CL ACs by matching computations with measurements, it is more suitable to combine the Poiseuille (or Couette) and Fourier configurations, rather than, as it is commonly done, the Poiseuille and thermal creep ones. For example, in order to estimate the normal energy AC within an accuracy of 10 %, experimental uncertainties should be less than 4 % in the thermal creep or TPD flows, while may be about 10 % in the Fourier flow.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11985,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Mechanics B-fluids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0997754624000785/pdfft?md5=e292361e20a245e8bcd0fbf8f9e934aa&pid=1-s2.0-S0997754624000785-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141487022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In many applications, a group of droplets evaporate and the interaction between them affects the evaporation process. In this paper, the front-tracking method is used to simulate the droplets groups evaporation. Since the front-tracking method uses a Lagrangian grid for each droplet, this method offers good accuracy in predicting the shape, the displacement and the evaporation rate of droplets. The numerical method has been developed to simulate the evaporation of binary droplets. The fluid surrounding the droplets is modeled as a gas mixture, so the numerical method can be used to simulate multiphase-multicomponent problems. The front-tracking method requires very fine grid resolution to simulate flows at high-density ratios; therefore, the method is rarely used at high-density ratios. In this paper, a two-step method is used to move the front at high-density ratios without requiring a very fine grid resolution. First, a static droplet evaporation is simulated, and the results are compared with the analytical solutions; evaporation of a Decane droplet is then simulated, and the results are compared with the experimental data. Subsequently, the evaporation of a binary droplet is modeled. The evaporation of a group of static droplets is also simulated, and the effect of droplets interaction is investigated. Next, the evaporation of three injected droplets is simulated, and the effect of some parameters on droplets interaction is probed. The evaporation rate and displacement of each droplet are calculated and compared with the single droplet. Finally, the evaporation of the groups of droplets is simulated, and the effect of different arrangements of droplets on the evaporation rate is studied. Understanding the droplets interactions is helpful in predicting droplet spray behavior and developing numerical methods. Thus, the presented results are useful to achieve a better understanding of the droplets interaction phenomenon, its outcomes, and the parameters affecting evaporation rate.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11985,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Mechanics B-fluids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141487021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For a square cavity, the inherent structural symmetry is combined with the dynamical symmetry of the velocity field.

Interestingly, unlike other wall-driven cavity flows found in the literature, the recirculating zone in this system forms a single vortex without any corner eddies at any Reynolds number. This unique feature offers tremendous potential for controlling the mixing process. In the highly viscous regime, the pressure field is dominated by odd functions in both x and y. As inertia increases, even functions in x and y become more significant, causing the velocities near the moving lids to overshoot their steady-state values. The extent of this overshoot depends on the cavity’s aspect ratio, and such a fast mixing regime could be valuable for industrial fluid mixing applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11985,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Mechanics B-fluids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141487020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The drying of salt solution droplets is key to understanding and controlling morphological structures on surfaces. In this paper, we report the study of pattern formation from the evaporation of saline drops (NaCl, CsCl, and KCl) placed on pillars. Our findings indicate that regardless of saline concentration and type, the drying process can be categorized into three modes: stable, metastable, and unstable. In both the stable and metastable modes, the droplet fixes to the pillar during the drying process and ensuing pattern formation; however, the crucial distinction lies in the metastable mode, where the droplet additionally undergoes mass loss through fluid drainage from the walls of the pillars. Conversely, in the unstable drying mode, the droplet undergoes rapid collapse, leading to a substantial loss of mass. The distinct drying modes dictate the resulting patterns on the pillars. We employ measurements of configurational entropy and fractal dimension as quantitative metrics to assess the complexity, reproducibility, and similarity of patterns. The texture analysis reveals that, at low concentrations of both CsCl and KCl, significant differences emerge among the patterns produced by the different drying modes, especially highlighting differences in patterns of the stable drying mode. Finally, we analyze fertilizer deposition patterns to prove that all three drying modes can occur in complex fluids.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11985,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Mechanics B-fluids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141487083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The thermocapillary effect refers to the migration of a drop under the influence of a temperature gradient. The thermal and hydrodynamic problems are examined. The thermal field is governed by the heat conduction equation whereas the hydrodynamic fluid velocities are governed by the linearized Navier–Stokes equations. Presence of temperature gradient results in variation of the interfacial tension which is assumed to depend on temperature linearly. Variation of interfacial gradient leads to the coupling of the hydrodynamic problem with the thermal problem through the boundary condition.
