To optimize the channel structure and geometry parameters deeply is of benefit to achieve the precise regulation of droplets’ diameter, uniformity and the size ranges. For the adaptive design, channel depth, orifice length and the angle in continuous and discrete phase are taken into account to investigate the influence of geometry configurations on the microdroplet diameter and its generated cycle stages in flow focusing microchannel by making use of numerical simulation. It is shown that the droplet diameter approximately increases linearly with the channel depth, meanwhile, when the channel depth is less than 30 m, the droplet’s cycle increases suddenly under the application of strong capillary force. The microdroplet diameter and its cycle are both the shortest while the angle of the continuous phase and discrete phase is nearly 90 , and too large or too small ang
