Developing from 2D to 3D Droplet Modeling and Simulation Using Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM)

The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been playing the important role in engineering fields side by side with experimental fields and theoretical studies. This manuscript develops the three dimensional (3-D) space of droplet modeling and simulation as continuation of writers 2-D previous works. The droplet behavior as the basic components of spray and aerosol based industries and engineering still need much more understanding hydro-dynamically and thermally. The pseudopotential LBM is used to handle two-phase fluids and to develop the modeling. The hydrodynamics of droplet in 2-D and 3-D were simulated here to present the various conditions of droplet contacts angles.
