Using Fluent to simulate droplet impact
 
Currently, I am using Fluent to simulate 2D liquid droplet impact onto rigid surface. The droplet is 2 mm in diameter and 2 m/s. I used implicit, VOF scheme. Though the simulation works, but the results is far from the experimental results and disagree with the physical meaning. For example, with 2m/s droplet, it took 10 ms to travel 1 mm in the simulation, this result disagrees with the real physical result that should be 0.5 ms. I tried set the velocity to both absolute and superfacial, but they show the same results. Is there anyone has the exerimence of simulation of droplet impact can help me?

Thanks

Hi Jay..

Can u help me please about droplet simulation through pipe using vof model..


thanks
