In this work, we studied the deformation behavior of a droplet under the various flow conditions. The droplet deformation is calculated by a level-set method. In order to determine the acting force on a particle in shear flow field, we propose the feedback forces which can maintain particle position with efficient handling of deformation. Computations were carried out to investigate the deformation behavior of a droplet caused by the surrounding gaseous flow and the effect of the deformation on the droplet characteristics with various dimensionless parameters. Based on the numerical results, we observed that drag and lift forces acting on a droplet depend strongly on the deformation. Also, the present method is proven to be applicable to a three-dimensional deformation of droplet in shear flow, which cannot be properly analyzed by the previous studies. The drag and lift forces obtained from the present numerical method are favorably compared with the data reported in the literature.

Studies on electromagnetic impact welding between similar or dissimilar flat sheet metals using the flat one turn coil have been recently achieved. In this study, three dimensional electromagnetic-mechanical coupled numerical simulations are performed for the electromagnetic impact welding of aluminum alloy sheets with flat rectangular one turn coil. The deformation behavior during impact welding was examined. The effect of process parameters such as charge voltage, standoff distance and gap distance were investigated.

Abstract A three dimensional finite element scheme for Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of viscoelastic two phase flows is implemented. The scheme uses the Level Set Method to track the interface and the Marchuk-Yanenko operator splitting technique to decouple the difficulties associated with the governing equations. Using this numerical scheme, the shape of Newtonian drops in a simple shear flow of viscoelastic fluid and vice versa are analyzed as a function of Capillary number, Deborah number and polymer concentration. The viscoelastic fluid is modeled via the Oldroyd-B model. The role of viscoelastic stresses in deformation of a drop subjected to simple shear flow and its effect on the steady state shape is analyzed. Our results compare favorably with existing experimental data and also help in understanding the role of viscoelastic stresses in drop deformation.
