• TITLE: Millimeter-Scale Liquid Droplet Migration on Solid Surface with Temperature Gradient: A Simulation Investigation

  AUTHORS: Zheng Jingyuan

  KEYWORDS: Liquid Droplet, Fluid Mechanics, Navier-Stokes Equation

  JOURNAL NAME: Modern Mechanical Engineering, Vol.10 No.3, August 10, 2020

  ABSTRACT: In this paper, we established a time-dependent model that investigates the migration behavior of a millimeter-scale liquid droplet on a solid surface with temperature gradient. Both fluid mechanics and heat transfer are incorporated in the model. The Navier-Stokes equation is employed both inside and outside the droplet. Size variation is observed in the transient simulation. Results show that the velocity of the migration is about 1.7 mm/s under a temperature gradient of 30 K/mm. The model is consistent with results with previous literatures.
