DOI: 10.1139/cjp-2020-0550
Abstract: This paper mainly studied the thermocapillary migration of deformable droplets induced by periodic temperature boundary under microgravity conditions. The Finite-Difference/Front-Tracking (FD/FT) Method was used to solve the Navier-Stokes equation coupled with the energy equation, and… read more here.
