Abstract
Dynamics analysis of the oil droplet in water impacting on a rigid wall in the range of Re=9.3 ∼ 231.39, We=0.003 ∼ 0.637 was carried out by combining microscopic experiment with theoretical study. In the oil droplet’s force equation, we consider the added mass force and the water film induced force, in addition to the conventional forces, i.e. buoyancy and resistance to flow. Stokes-Reynolds drainage equation (i.e. SR model) and Young-Laplace equation (i.e. YL model) are combined with the force equation to numerically solve the motion law of oil droplets near the wall for different control parameters. The study indicates that coupled model would expect oil droplet velocities, motion trajectories and capture the kinetic behaviors of the water-film drainage evolution. The interfacial deformation of oil droplets causes changes in the pressure and the pressure distribution pattern has an important relationship with the shape of the oil droplet interface. These two forces play a dominant role in droplet motion during the collision and the maximum value of these two forces increases with increasing droplet size and Re number. Future research should shift towards complex oil-water systems and consider the effects of chemicals on oil droplets so that the application of the model will be more generalisable. At the same time, computer technology should be used to transfer the two-dimensional view to a three-dimensional view to analyse the deformation of the oil-water interface and to better understand the drainage process of the water film.
