Spheres, tears, and spears: Regulating the perimeter and circularity of millimeter-sized alginate hydrogel beads. [PDF]
Abstract Generating hydrogel beads pertains to many engineering applications. We examined two alginate‐based fluids at three concentrations of alginate, cAG. We used the “Map of Misery” to determine which material property (viscosity, elasticity, and inertia) drives droplet formation. Next, we measured the perimeter and circularity of hydrogel beads as

Two-phase flow dynamics in the gas diffusion layer of proton exchange membrane fuel cells: Volume of fluid modeling and comparison with experiment [PDF]
This paper proposes a three-dimensional (3D) volume of fluid (VOF) study to investigate two-phase flow in the gas diffusion layer (GDL) of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells and liquid water distribution.

Hybrid VOF–Lagrangian CFD Modeling of Droplet Aerobreakup
A hybrid VOF–Lagrangian method for simulating the aerodynamic breakup of liquid droplets induced by a traveling shock wave is proposed and tested. The droplet deformation and fragmentation, together with the subsequent mist development, are predicted by using a fully three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model following the unsteady Reynolds ...

Study of the Influence of Semi-Porous Baffles on the Three-Phase Separation Efficiency in a Horizontal Separator Vessel via CFD [PDF]
Horizontal separator vessels exhibit better phase separation efficiencies when fluids flow at lower velocities, favoring the sedimentation process. The optimized determination of internal devices, such as baffles, can reduce fluid velocity from the inlet
