  • 利用基于相场理论的格子Boltzmann方法研究了匀强电场作用下含可溶性表面活性剂液滴的动力学行为. 首先通过模拟静态液滴表面活性剂浓度分布和漏电介质液滴在电场作用下形变两个基准问题验证了方法的可靠性. 其次, 本文重点研究了含表面活性剂液滴在电场作用下的形变、破裂和聚合行为. 研究发现, 对于形变行为, 单液滴存在扁长型和扁平型两种形变模式, 表面活性剂浓度越高, 液滴形变越大; 对于破裂行为, 单液滴存在细丝状和窄颈状两种破裂模式, 含表面活性剂的液滴更容易发生破裂行为; 对于聚合行为, 双液滴存在形变聚合和吸引聚合两种过程, 表面活性剂促进其形变聚合, 但抑制其吸引聚合.

     

    This paper adopts the phase-field based lattice Boltzmann (LB) method to study the dynamic behaviors of soluble surfactant-laden droplets in a uniform electric field. First, two benchmark problems including the surfactant concentration distribution on a static droplet and the deformation of a leaky dielectric droplet in an electric field, are used to validate the reliability of the LB method. Then, we investigate the deformation, breakup, and coalescence behaviors of surfactant-laden droplets in an electric field. The obtained results are shown below. 1) Regarding deformation, the single droplet exhibits two distinct deformation modes: Prolate and oblate shapes. A higher electric capillary number and a higher concentration of bulk surfactants both promote greater droplet deformation. 2) Regarding breakup, a single droplet exhibits two distinct breakup modes: filamentous breakup and conical jetting breakup. Droplets containing surfactants are more like to break up. Specifically, surfactants reduce the retraction degree of the main droplet after filamentous breakup, while increasing the number of satellite droplets formed at the ends of the main droplet after jetting breakup. 3) Regarding coalescence, the double droplets exhibit two distinct processes: deformation coalescence and attractive coalescence. A higher electric capillary number facilitates droplet coalescence. Surfactants promote the deformation coalescence while retarding attractive coalescence, but the promotional effect dominates. Consequently, a higher concentration of bulk surfactants will enhance the tendency of droplet coalescence.
