Surveying the effects of concave obstacles with different edge walls on hollow glycerin droplet impacting using the volume of fluid approach

Abstract

The numerical analysis of the impact of a hollow droplet on a solid concave obstacle at various heights of the edge wall and impact velocity is presented in this study. The Volume Of Fluid (VOF) approach was used to simulate hollow droplet impact using OpenFoam software. The Newtonian, incompressible, and laminar properties of the glycerin hollow droplet are assumed. Hollow droplet collision hydrodynamic behavior and jet characteristics were explored. The height of the counter jet rose as the impact velocity and height of the edge wall increased. Maximum height and length have happened to case 8 in t = 2 ms and case 3 in t = 1 ms, so the amount of it is 9.75 and 19.75 mm, minimum height and length in the last time computed is 1.4 and 2.73 mm for cases 1 and 7, respectively.
