Computational studies of shear-dependent non-newtonian droplet formation at microfluidics T-junction with experimental justification
When Reynolds number (Re) is typically small, the dominant forces governing droplet formation in a microfluidic system includes surface tension, viscous, adhesion, and inertial forces, and the rheology of fluid becomes significantly important when non-Newtonian fluids are involved. The aim of this t...
