Abstract

The effects of inertia on the spherical drop subjected to shear between parallel walls in a matrix liquid was analyzed. The critical capillary number for break-up in shear flow in the presence of inertia depended on the Reynolds number which obeyed a power law. The flow was investigated with a volume-of-fluid continuous-surface-force algorithm. The results showed that critical Reynolds number scales was inversely proportional to the capillary number using the numerical simulations.
