Abstract

The dynamics of a liquid droplet in a low gravitational field is examined using a finite difference/front tracking projection-based numerical technique. The unsteady, incompressible, viscous, immiscible multi-fluid, two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations for both the liquid and the gas are solved using the single-fluid model. The droplet deformation and the gas wake generation and oscillations phenomena is studied.
