Many lab-on-a-chip applications require processing of droplets, cells, and particles using
narrow confinements. The physics governing the process of a particle squeezing through …

The phase-field model (PFM) is gaining increasing attention in the application of multiphase
flows due to its advantages, in which the phase interface is treated as a narrow layer and …

We present a quasi-incompressible Navier–Stokes–Cahn–Hilliard (q-NSCH) diffuse
interface model for two-phase fluid flows with variable physical properties that maintains …

Despite significant progress, cell viability continues to be a central issue in droplet-based
bioprinting applications. Common bioinks exhibit viscoelastic behavior owing to the …

Three dimensional interface-resolved numerical simulations are performed to investigate
interactions of two buoyancy-driven parallel bubbles rising in an otherwise quiescent …

The study of drop deformation in response to various stresses has long piqued the interest of
several academics. The deformation behavior of cells, drug carriers, and even drug particles …

Microfluidic contraction devices have been proposed for extensional rheometry
measurements, in particular as a useful method for determining the extensional viscosity of …

A novel numerical algorithm and modeling framework of a front tracking method based on
adaptive anisotropic unstructured meshes for simulating two-phase interfacial flows is …

The solution of the pressure Poisson equation arising in the numerical solution of
incompressible Navier–Stokes equations (INSE) is by far the most expensive part of the …

The dynamics of compound droplets is more and more attractive because of their
applications in a wide range of industrial and natural processes. This study aims to improve …
