微通道内数字化液滴成型的模拟研究 汪青青1，刘国华1 （1安徽工业大学能源与环境学院，安徽 马鞍山 243002） 摘要：微流控技术因其制备的离散化液滴具有单分散性好、大小均一且精确可控的优点受到了广泛关注。本文运用 COMSOL 软件，采用Level Set界面追踪方式，建立T型微通道模型模拟了液滴成型过程，研究了分散相流量、连续相流量与黏度对液滴成型机制的影响。得到以下结论：液滴直径随分散相流量增大而增大，随连续相流量增大而减小，随连续相黏度减小半径增大；液滴生成频率连续相黏度增大而减小；并基于模拟结果分析了上述因素对液滴半径和生成速率的影响。本研究结果丰富了微液滴的操控理论，对化工、制药、生物等领域的液滴成型工程应用有一定指导意义。 关键词：微通道；数字化液滴；多相流；黏度； 数值模拟 DOI：10.3969/j.issn.0438-1157.2014.00.000 中图分类号：TK124 文献标志码：A 文章编号：0438-1157（2014）00-0000-00 Simulation study on the formation mechanism of digital droplets in microchannels WANG Qingqing1，LIU Guohua1 (College of Energy and Environment，Anhui University of Technology，Ma’anshan 243002，Anhui，China) Abstract：Microfluidic technology has attained great attention for its advantages to form discrete droplets, which exhibits good monodisperse, size uniformity and precise controlling. In this paper,we establish the T-shaped microchannel model by using COMSOL and level set interface tracking method to study the mechanism of droplet forming by changing disperse phase flow,flow rate and viscosity of the continuous phase . Results indicate that the droplet diameter increases with the dispersed phase flow rate and the decrease of continuous phase viscosity. But the diameter decreases with the increase continuous phase flow rate. The droplet generation frequency increases with the increasing flow rate of the dispersed phase as well as the continuous phase . while it decreases with the increasing viscosity of continuous phase. We analysis the influence of these factors based on the simulation results. This study enriches the theory of micro-droplets formation, and provides practical guidance for the engineering.
