不互溶混合流体中液滴粗化的新机理

A novel coarsening mechanism of droplets in immiscible fluid mixtures

Ryotaro Shimizu, Hajime Tanaka

摘要:

在我们的日常生活中,摇晃沙拉酱后,我们看到悬浮在醋中的油滴变粗。这种分层过程在自然界中随处可见,也具有重要的技术意义。对于高液滴密度的情况下,畴粗化与液滴间碰撞和由此产生的聚结一起进行。这种现象主要由所谓的布朗凝聚机制解释:分子施加的随机热力引起单个液滴的随机运动,导致意外碰撞和随后的界面张力驱动的聚结。与此相反,我们表明,液滴运动不是随机的,但流体动力学驱动的组合物Marangoni力由于在每个液滴中产生的界面张力梯度作为液滴之间的组合物相关性的结果。这改变了我们对不混溶液体混合物中液滴粗化的基本物理理解。

英文摘要:

In our daily lives, after shaking a salad dressing, we see the coarsening of oil droplets suspended in vinegar. Such a demixing process is observed everywhere in nature and also of technological importance. For a case of high droplet density, domain coarsening proceeds with interdroplet collisions and the resulting coalescence. This phenomenon has been explained primarily by the so-called Brownian coagulation mechanism: stochastic thermal forces exerted by molecules induce random motion of individual droplets, causing accidental collisions and subsequent interface-tension driven coalescence. Contrary to this, we demonstrate that the droplet motion is not random, but hydrodynamically driven by the composition Marangoni force due to an interfacial tension gradient produced in each droplet as a consequence of composition correlation among droplets. This alters our physical understanding of droplet coarsening in immiscible liquid mixtures on a fundamental level.
