Two-phase measurement of the flow around multi-droplet array on various functional surfaces and its modeling

The objectives of the proposed research internship is to develop a model of the critical airflow velocity at which the droplets start to move according to the arrangement of the droplets, the wettability of the surface, and the interaction between the droplets on the various functional surfaces and the airflow passing over them, which is further followed by the experimental validation. It is very important to understand and control the thermal fluid phenomena of the system, especially two-phase flow phenomena, in order to maintain its stability or improve the performance in various industrial problems. In particular, it is often necessary to efficiently remove droplets that are unnecessarily present on a solid surface, however in-depth studies have not been conducted so far. TO BE CONT’D
