Square drop oscillation under surface tension – 2D axi-symmetric model

muriel carin, universite de bretagne sud

This model is concerned with the simulation of incompressible Newtonian fluid flow problems with surface tension. An initially cubic drop of water is oscillating under surface tension forces. This model is developed for a 2D axi-symmetric transient analysis. The movement and deformation of the computational domain are accounted for by employing the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) description of the fluid kinematics.
The implementation of the model is detailled step by step in the pdf file fir the version 3.5a. To visualize the solution, you need to solve the model.

Hi,

I followed the method defined in the paper but the solution did not converge. I am using 3.5 version. Unfortunately I could not open the comsol file as it is created by a later version may be 3.5a? Is it possible to save the file in older version?

it is a nice work, do you have version 4.0a?

It is really a wonderful work.

would you pls to give some detail on the weakform boundary condition?

why it is this form:

-nu_surf*r*uTr_test-nu_surf*u_test

By the way, if there is a wetting condition on the right point, how to deal with?

Thanks a lot!

The boundary condition form is due to the fact that a cylindrical coordinate system is used. Had a cartesian coordinate system been used, the expressions would have been:

-nu_surf * test(uTx)
-nu_surf * test(vTy)

Hope it helps.

Nice work, as someone else has requested is there a verson 4.0 or later?

I have a version for 4.1+4.2 working, but it comes without the pdf introduction.

Hi Øistein Wind-Willassen,

could you send the model for the version 4.2?

Thanks!!

Hi this is a nice work ! Could you PS post the working 4.1+4.2 version.

Cool, your module make me begin to like comsol.

Is the 4.2a version available from anyone? Looks very useful.

I almost have the 4.2a version going, but something isn't right; the droplet just squeezes out along the r direction and doesn't bounce back. I get a contact angle along the r axis though, so my weak form for surface tension is doing something. Thoughts anyone?

Oistein - If you have the 4.2 version still available, please post, I would really appreciate it.

By any chance is this model in either 4.1 or 4.2 version available anywhere? Thanks!

Dear Øistein Wind-Willassen,
If it is available, how coulod I get a copy of your above version 4.2 droplet?
Thsnk you, Arthur Carrieri.

Hi,

How to include surface tension related BC? I tried to use it under boundary stress node in comsol 4.2a. It gives error.

Regards,
Susant

I have added the model built with the version 4.4. Sorry for the delay!

This model has helped me a lot. Does someone know how to include wetting for this model? I'm using 4.4.

Did you figure out how to impose a wetting condition Zuosheng Lei? I am trying to model movement of this droplet of a porous surface where the droplet wets the surface

This model is very useful for beginners
by the way
if the model is 3D symmetry，the expression of boundary condition is
-nu_surf * test(uTx)
-nu_surf * test(vTy)
-nu_surf * test(wTz)
it ir right?
Thanks a lot!

Its very useful ,nice work! But i add the same weak expression on a curve boundary it can't converge, how can it work?
Thank U!

I also applied the same strategy to elliptical shape bubble motion, but cannot converge. why?
