Problem Definition
Model the flow inside a droplet moving between two infinite plates
Actual Situation (Droplet)
Current Model (Pipe Flow)

Physical Background
• Navier Stokes Equations [4]
• Computational Fluid Dynamics
![Page 7: Modeling the Internal Flow of a Droplet](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56814e24550346895dbb87da/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Program Design
Inputs – Wall Velocities, Droplet Shape, Viscosity, Density, Droplet Size
Algorithm – Variation on SIMPLE
Outputs – Graphical Representations of Fluid Flows and Pressures: Vector Plots, Topographical Plots
![Page 8: Modeling the Internal Flow of a Droplet](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56814e24550346895dbb87da/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Considered Algorithm
SIMPLE – Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure-Linked Equations
1. Guess P
2. Calculate (u, v) for surrounding nodes
3. Correct the guessed pressures and velocities
4. Repeat until convergence

Future Work
• Finish coordinate transformations
• Set up boundary conditions for desired problem
• Obtain results
• Test results against laboratory data, to be gathered
• Modify program to be more general or more efficient
