| This paper deals with the modeling of the phenomenon of a droplet hitting an obstacle. The numerical model of the multiphase flow is based on the Navier-Stokes differential equations and the finite volume method. During the numerical analysis, the volume of fluid (VoF) method was used as a free surface modeling technique. Various shapes of the analyzed solid obstacles were considered in the numerical model. Two cases of multiphase flows with different surface tensions were analyzed: water-air and gasoil-air. The results were presented in the form of volumetric fraction graphs. |
