Rise and fall of a multicomponent droplet in a surrounding fluid: Simulation study of a bumpy path

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The buoyancy driven motion of a droplet that loses a component through diffusion in a fluid is studied numerically. The interplay of diffusion and advection is shown to have unexpected effects that cannot be explained in the fast or slow diffusion limit.
