This repository includes three Comsol Multiphysics 5.6 files. Each file includes a variation of the droplets simulated for the associated paper. There are 2 files with a three-dimensional setup and 1 file with a 2 dimensional set up. The physics principles employed in both 3D and 2D scenarios are identical. Please note that the files do not include the actual solutions (due to increased file size), but they are set up and ready to be run for further analysis.
The defined parameters for the study can be seen under Parameters. All parameters can be modified to desired values.
Laminar flow is chosen for this study and the details appear under the node with the same label:
Nitrogen and its properties have been added from the comsol material library. Properties of copper (surface tension and dynamic viscosity) are defined under Fluid Properties - Copper as follows:
The defined mesh has a higher resolution at the interface. The values can be found under the node with the same name.
Initiating the computation can be achieved by selecting Compute located under the Study node. In this case the study took about 85 hours based on the computational power of the used device (12-core Intel Xeon with 256 GB RAM).
The values of interest (surface area, volume etc.) can be found under Derived values
