Numerical Simulation of Dynamic Behavior of Falling Two Adjacent Droplets Using Lattice Boltzmann Method

In the present study, falling a single droplet and two adjacent droplets under gravity force, in the vertical channel with side walls and for different situations of wall effects are simulated, using the inter molecular potential model of lattice Boltzmann method. Dynamic behavior of falling droplet is simulated. The simulation results are shown in the falling droplet with initial lateral position on the centerline (vertical axis of symmetry) of channel, the droplet has been moved down straight along the centerline with no lateral motion. For the falling movement of the droplet near wall, due to various effects on droplet, it has been diverted from its initial vertical axis. If Eotvos number is not very low (Eo>5)... .
