Abstract

The coupled dynamics of interfacial fluid phases and unconstrained solid particles during the binder jet 3D printing process govern the final quality and performance of the resulting components. The present work proposes a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and discrete element method (DEM) framework capable of simulating the complex interfacial fluid–particle interaction that occurs when binder microdroplets are deposited into a powder bed. The CFD solver uses a volume-of-fluid (VOF) method for capturing liquid–gas multifluid flows and relies on block-structured adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) to localize grid refinement around evolving fluid–fluid interfaces. The DEM module resolves six degrees of freedom particle motion and accounts for particle contact, cohesion, and rolling resistance. Fully-resolved CFD-DEM coupling is achieved through a fictitious domain immersed boundary (IB) approach. An improved method for enforcing three-phase contact lines with a VOF-IB extension technique is introduced. We present several simulations of binder jet primitive formation using realistic process parameters and material properties. The DEM particle systems are experimentally calibrated to reproduce the cohesion behavior of physical nickel alloy powder feedstocks. We demonstrate the proposed model’s ability to resolve the interdependent fluid and particle dynamics underlying the process by directly comparing simulated primitive granules with one-to-one experimental counterparts obtained from an in-house validation apparatus. This computational framework provides unprecedented insight into the fundamental mechanisms of binder jet 3D printing and presents a versatile new approach for process parameter optimization and defect mitigation that avoids the inherent challenges of experiments.

Introduction

Binder jet 3D printing (BJ3DP) is a powder bed additive manufacturing (AM) technology capable of fabricating geometrically complex components from advanced engineering materials, such as metallic superalloys and ultra-high temperature ceramics [1], [2]. As illustrated in Fig. 1(a), the process is comprised of many repetitive print cycles, each contributing a new cross-sectional layer on top of a preceding one to form a 3D CAD-specified geometry. The feedstock material is first delivered from a hopper to a build plate and then spread into a thin layer by a counter-rotating roller. After powder spreading, a print head containing many individual inkjet nozzles traverses over the powder bed while precisely jetting binder microdroplets onto select regions of the spread layer. Following binder deposition, the build plate lowers by a specified layer thickness, leaving a thin void space at the top of the job box that the subsequent powder layer will occupy. This cycle repeats until the full geometries are formed layer by layer. Powder bed fusion (PBF) methods follow a similar procedure, except they instead use a laser or electron beam to selectively melt and fuse the powder material. Compared to PBF, binder jetting offers several distinct advantages, including faster build rates, enhanced scalability for large production volumes, reduced machine and operational costs, and a wider selection of suitable feedstock materials [2]. However, binder jetted parts generally possess inferior mechanical properties and reduced dimensional accuracy [3]. As a result, widescale adoption of BJ3DP to fabricate high-performance, mission-critical components, such as those common to the aerospace and defense sectors, is contingent on novel process improvements and innovations [4].

A major obstacle hindering the advancement of BJ3DP is our limited understanding of how various printing parameters and material properties collectively influence the underlying physical mechanisms of the process and their effect on the resulting components. To date, the vast majority of research efforts to uncover these relationships have relied mainly on experimental approaches [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], which are often expensive and time-consuming and have inherent physical restrictions on what can be measured and observed. For these reasons, there is a rapidly growing interest in using computational models to circumvent the challenges of experimental investigations and facilitate a deeper understanding of the process’s fundamental phenomena. While significant progress has been made in developing and deploying numerical frameworks aimed at powder spreading [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27] and sintering [28], [29], [30], [31], [32], simulating the interfacial fluid–particle interaction (IFPI) in the binder deposition stage is still in its infancy. In their exhaustive review, Mostafaei et al. [2] point out the lack of computational models capable of resolving the coupled fluid and particle dynamics associated with binder jetting and suggest that the development of such tools is critical to further improving the process and enhancing the quality of its end-use components.

We define IFPI as a multiphase flow regime characterized by immiscible fluid phases separated by dynamic interfaces that intersect the surfaces of moving solid particles. As illustrated in Fig. 1(b), an elaborate IFPI occurs when a binder droplet impacts the powder bed in BJ3DP. The momentum transferred from the impacting droplet may cause powder compaction, cratering, and particle ejection. These ballistic disturbances can have deleterious effects on surface texture and lead to the formation of large void spaces inside the part [5], [13]. After impact, the droplet spreads laterally on the bed surface and vertically into the pore network, driven initially by inertial impact forces and then solely by capillary action [33]. Attractive capillary forces exerted on mutually wetted particles tend to draw them inward towards each other, forming a packed cluster of bound particles referred to as a primitive [34]. A single-drop primitive is the most fundamental building element of a BJ3DP part, and the interaction leading to its formation has important implications on the final part characteristics, such as its mechanical properties, resolution, and dimensional accuracy. Generally, binder droplets are deposited successively as the print head traverses over the powder bed. The traversal speed and jetting frequency are set such that consecutive droplets coalesce in the bed, creating a multi-drop primitive line instead of a single-drop primitive granule. The binder must be jetted with sufficient velocity to penetrate the powder bed deep enough to provide adequate interlayer binding; however, a higher impact velocity leads to more pronounced ballistic effects.

A computational framework equipped to simulate the interdependent fluid and particle dynamics in BJ3DP would allow for unprecedented observational and measurement capability at temporal and spatial resolutions not currently achievable by state-of-the-art imaging technology, namely synchrotron X-ray imaging [13], [14], [18], [19]. Unfortunately, BJ3DP presents significant numerical challenges that have slowed the development of suitable modeling frameworks; the most significant of which are as follows:

  • 1.Incorporating dynamic fluid–fluid interfaces with complex topological features remains a nontrivial task for standard mesh-based CFD codes. There are two broad categories encompassing the methods used to handle interfacial flows: interface tracking and interface capturing [35]. Interface capturing techniques, such as the popular volume-of-fluid (VOF) [36] and level-set methods [37], [38], are better suited for problems with interfaces that become heavily distorted or when coalescence and fragmentation occur frequently; however, they are less accurate in resolving surface tension and boundary layer effects compared to interface tracking methods like front-tracking [39], arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian [40], and space–time finite element formulations [41]. Since interfacial forces become increasingly dominant at decreasing length scales, inaccurate surface tension calculations can significantly deteriorate the fidelity of IFPI simulations involving <100 μm droplets and particles.
  • 2.Dynamic powder systems are often modeled using the discrete element method (DEM) introduced by Cundall and Strack [42]. For IFPI problems, a CFD-DEM coupling scheme is required to exchange information between the fluid and particle solvers. Fully-resolved CFD-DEM coupling suggests that the flow field around individual particle surfaces is resolved on the CFD mesh [43], [44]. In contrast, unresolved coupling volume averages the effect of the dispersed solid phase on the continuous fluid phases [45], [46], [47], [48]. Comparatively, the former is computationally expensive but provides detailed information about the IFPI in question and is more appropriate when contact line dynamics are significant. However, since the pore structure of a powder bed is convoluted and evolves with time, resolving such solid–fluid interfaces on a computational mesh presents similar challenges as fluid–fluid interfaces discussed in the previous point. Although various algorithms have been developed to deform unstructured meshes to accommodate moving solid surfaces (see Bazilevs et al. [49] for an overview of such methods), they can be prohibitively expensive when frequent topology changes require mesh regeneration rather than just modification through nodal displacement. The pore network in a powder bed undergoes many topology changes as particles come in and out of contact with each other, constantly closing and opening new flow channels. Non-body-conforming structured grid approaches that rely on immersed boundary (IB) methods to embed the particles in the flow field can be better suited for such cases [50]. Nevertheless, accurately representing these complex pore geometries on Cartesian grids requires extremely high mesh resolutions, which can impose significant computational costs.
  • 3.Capillary effects depend on the contact angle at solid–liquid–gas intersections. Since mesh nodes do not coincide with a particle surface when using an IB method on structured grids, imposing contact angle boundary conditions at three-phase contact lines is not straightforward.

While these issues also pertain to PBF process modeling, resolving particle motion is generally less crucial for analyzing melt pool dynamics compared to primitive formation in BJ3DP. Therefore, at present, the vast majority of computational process models of PBF assume static powder beds and avoid many of the complications described above, see, e.g., [51], [52], [53], [54], [55], [56], [57], [58], [59]. Li et al. [60] presented the first 2D fully-resolved CFD-DEM simulations of the interaction between the melt pool, powder particles, surrounding gas, and metal vapor in PBF. Following this work, Yu and Zhao [61], [62] published similar melt pool IFPI simulations in 3D; however, contact line dynamics and capillary forces were not considered. Compared to PBF, relatively little work has been published regarding the computational modeling of binder deposition in BJ3DP. Employing the open-source VOF code Gerris [63], Tan [33] first simulated droplet impact on a powder bed with appropriate binder jet parameters, namely droplet size and impact velocity. However, similar to most PBF melt pool simulations described in the current literature, the powder bed was fixed in place and not allowed to respond to the interacting fluid phases. Furthermore, a simple face-centered cubic packing of non-contacting, monosized particles was considered, which does not provide a realistic pore structure for AM powder beds. Building upon this approach, we presented a framework to simulate droplet impact on static powder beds with more practical particle size distributions and packing arrangements [64]. In a study similar to [33], [64], Deng et al. [65] used the VOF capability in Ansys Fluent to examine the lateral and vertical spreading of a binder droplet impacting a fixed bimodal powder bed with body-centered packing. Li et al. [66] also adopted Fluent to conduct 2D simulations of a 100 μm diameter droplet impacting substrates with spherical roughness patterns meant to represent the surface of a simplified powder bed with monosized particles. The commercial VOF-based software FLOW-3D offers an AM module centered on process modeling of various AM technologies, including BJ3DP. However, like the above studies, particle motion is still not considered in this codebase. Ur Rehman et al. [67] employed FLOW-3D to examine microdroplet impact on a fixed stainless steel powder bed. Using OpenFOAM, Erhard et al. [68] presented simulations of different droplet impact spacings and patterns on static sand particles.

Recently, Fuchs et al. [69] introduced an impressive multipurpose smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) framework capable of resolving IFPI in various AM methods, including both PBF and BJ3DP. In contrast to a combined CFD-DEM approach, this model relies entirely on SPH meshfree discretization of both the fluid and solid governing equations. The authors performed several prototype simulations demonstrating an 80 μm diameter droplet impacting an unconstrained powder bed at different speeds. While the powder bed responds to the hydrodynamic forces imparted by the impacting droplet, the particle motion is inconsistent with experimental time-resolved observations of the process [13]. Specifically, the ballistic effects, such as particle ejection and bed deformation, were drastically subdued, even in simulations using a droplet velocity ∼ 5× that of typical jetting conditions. This behavior could be caused by excessive damping in the inter-particle contact force computations within their SPH framework. Moreover, the wetted particles did not appear to be significantly influenced by the strong capillary forces exerted by the binder as no primitive agglomeration occurred. The authors mention that the objective of these simulations was to demonstrate their codebase’s broad capabilities and that some unrealistic process parameters were used to improve computational efficiency and stability, which could explain the deviations from experimental observations.

In the present paper, we develop a novel 3D CFD-DEM numerical framework for simulating fully-resolved IFPI during binder jetting with realistic material properties and process parameters. The CFD module is based on the VOF method for capturing binder–air interfaces. Surface tension effects are realized through the continuum surface force (CSF) method with height function calculations of interface curvature. Central to our fluid solver is a proprietary block-structured AMR library with hierarchical octree grid nesting to focus enhanced grid resolution near fluid–fluid interfaces. The GPU-accelerated DEM module considers six degrees of freedom particle motion and includes models based on Hertz-Mindlin contact, van der Waals cohesion, and viscoelastic rolling resistance. The CFD and DEM modules are coupled to achieve fully-resolved IFPI using an IB approach in which Lagrangian solid particles are mapped to the underlying Eulerian fluid mesh through a solid volume fraction field. An improved VOF-IB extension algorithm is introduced to enforce the contact angle at three-phase intersections. This provides robust capillary flow behavior and accurate computations of the fluid-induced forces and torques acting on individual wetted particles in densely packed powder beds.

We deploy our integrated codebase for direct numerical simulations of single-drop primitive formation with powder beds whose particle size distributions are generated from corresponding laboratory samples. These simulations use jetting parameters similar to those employed in current BJ3DP machines, fluid properties that match commonly used aqueous polymeric binders, and powder properties specific to nickel alloy feedstocks. The cohesion behavior of the DEM powder is calibrated based on the angle of repose of the laboratory powder systems. The resulting primitive granules are compared with those obtained from one-to-one experiments conducted using a dedicated in-house test apparatus. Finally, we demonstrate how the proposed framework can simulate more complex and realistic printing operations involving multi-drop primitive lines.

Experiments to observe the surface oscillation of cryogenic liquids have been performed with liquid nitrogen inside a 50 mm
diameter right circular cylinder. The surface oscillation is driven by the capillary force that becomes dominant after a sudden
reduction of the gravity acceleration acting on the liquid. The experiments show differences from the speculated behavior and
enables one to observe new features.

Introduction and motivation

최근 몇 년 동안 Bremen의 낙하탑에서 중력의 단계적 감소 시 방향 재지향 거동과 표면 진동을 조사하기 위해 수많은 실험이 수행되었습니다[1]. 이 실험의 원리는 그림 1에 나와 있습니다.

그림 1의 왼쪽에 표시된 것처럼 오른쪽 원형 원통형 용기에 테스트 액체를 레벨 h0까지 채웁니다. 처음에 액체는 정지 상태이며 중앙에서 평평한 인터페이스를 형성합니다.

초기 중력 가속도 kzi ≈ 9.81 [m/s2]와 결과적으로 높은 BOND 수(Bo = ρkziR2/σ)로 인해 실린더의 대칭축에서. 낙하탑에서 실험 캡슐의 방출에 의해 확립된 μ-중력 환경 kz ≈ 0 [m/s2]로의 갑작스러운 전환과 함께 자유 표면은 진동 운동으로 새로운 평형 구성을 찾기 시작합니다(그림의 오른쪽) 1). 이러한 움직임은 그림 1의 중앙에 스케치되어 있습니다.

표면 진동의 구동력은 접착력과 결합된 표면 장력이며, 댐핑은 액체의 점도에 의해 제어됩니다. 위치가 zw인 벽에서 접촉선의 이동은 접촉각 γ에 의해 제어됩니다. 접촉각이 작은 액체용 γ ≈ 0◦

In recent years numerous experiments have been carried out to investigate the reorientation behavior and surface oscillations upon step reduction of gravity at the drop tower in Bremen [1]. The principals of these experiments are shown in figure 1. A right circular cylindrical container is filled up to the level h0 with the test liquid, as shown on the left of figure 1. Initially the liquid is quiescent and forms a flat interface at the center, in the symmetry axis of the cylinder, due to the initial gravity acceleration kzi ≈ 9.81 [m/s2] and the resulting high BOND number (Bo = ρkziR2/σ). With the sudden transition to the µ-gravity environment kz ≈ 0 [m/s2], which is established by the release of the experiment capsular in the drop tower, the free surface is initiated to search its new equilibrium configuration (right side of figure 1) with an oscillatory motion. These movements are sketched in the center of figure 1. The driving force for the surface oscillation is the surface tension in combination with the adhesion force where the damping is controlled by the viscosity of the liquid. The movement of the contact line at the wall, with its position zw, is governed by the contact angle γ. For liquids with small contact angle γ ≈ 0◦

Introduction

움직이는 접촉선은 본질적으로 어디에나 존재하며, 표면에 미끄러지는 물방울은 우리가 일상에서 만나는 일반적인 예입니다. 유체 역학의 접촉선은 일반적으로 액체, 고체 및 주변 공기/증기 사이의 공통 경계라고합니다.

최근 미세 유체 공학의 발전으로 인해 접촉 라인의 역학을 제어하는 힘과 흐름 조건에 대한 근본적인 이해와 기술에 대한 많은 요구가 제기되었습니다. 이 논문은 접촉선의 물리학, 분석 및 수치 모델링 및 고무적인 산업 기하학과 관련된 측면을 포함합니다.

동기를 부여하는 산업 응용 분야는 이머전 리소그래피 (ASML)와 잉크젯 노즐 (Océ)의 프린트 헤드입니다. 이 두 가지 문제는 몇 가지 특징적인 길이 및 시간 척도, 고도로 구부러진 유체 인터페이스, 다상 흐름 및 복잡한 경계 조건을 포함하므로 분석 및 수치 연구가 어렵습니다.

포토 리소그래피는 서브 마이크론 정확도로 마스크에서 실리콘 웨이퍼로 패턴을 전송할 수 있는 복잡한 절차입니다 [1]. 포토 리소그래피 공정의 핵심 단계 중 하나는 고해상도 광학 시스템을 사용하여 실리콘 웨이퍼에 코팅 된 포토 레지스트를 DUV (심 자외선) 빛으로 노출시키는 것입니다. 광학 시스템을 사용하여 웨이퍼에 마스킹 할 수 있는 가장 작은 특징 또는 임계 치수 CD는 Rayleigh 기준으로 결정됩니다.

여기서 NA는 광학 시스템의 개구 수를 나타내고, λ는 사용 된 빛의 파장이고 k는 공정 종속 상수입니다. 광학 분야에서 광학 시스템의 개구 수 NA = n sin α는 시스템이 빛을 받아들이거나 방출 할 수 있는 각도 범위를 특성화하는 무차원 숫자입니다.

여기서 α는 렌즈의 수용 각도입니다 (0 < α <π / 2) 및 n은 렌즈와 포토 레지스트 사이의 매질의 굴절률입니다. CD의 가치가 감소하면 전자 장치가 더 작고 빨라집니다. 식에 의해 주어진 레일리 기준에 따르면. (1.1), 더 작은 CD 값은 k 또는 λ를 줄이거 나 NA를 늘림으로써 얻을 수 있습니다. 현재 KrF 및 ArF 엑시머 레이저의 경우 빛의 파장은 각각 최대 280nm 및 193nm까지 감소 될 수 있습니다 [1]. k는 분해능 향상 기술을 사용하여 0.4까지 감소 된 공정 의존 상수입니다 [2 ]. 개구 수는 sin α 또는 n을 증가시켜 증가시킬 수 있습니다.

sin α에 대한 실제 한계는 0.93으로, 이론적 한계 | sin α |에 매우 가깝습니다. ≤ 1. n을 늘리는 것이 이머전 리소그래피 사용의 기본 아이디어입니다. Immersion lithography는 렌즈와 포토 레지스트 사이의 에어 갭이 물로 대체되는 포토 리소그래피 기법입니다 (그림 1.1 (왼쪽 패널) 참조). 침지 리소그래피에 사용되는 물은 193nm 파장에 대해 1.44의 굴절률을 가진 고도로 정제 된 탈 이온수입니다 [3]. 이 굴절률 값은 분해 가능한 피처 크기의 해상도를 약 30 % 정도 증가시킵니다 [3].

이 방법은 훨씬 더 비싼 리소그래피 기술 [4]로 큰 변화를 가져 오지 않아도 된다는 장점을 가지고 더 작은 피처 크기를 달성하는 저렴한 방법입니다. 물이 웨이퍼의 포토 레지스트와 직접 접촉하기 때문에 이머전 리소그래피 기술은 주로 렌즈와 포토 레지스트의 오염 가능성과 관련된 몇 가지 문제를 야기합니다.

특히 웨이퍼 플레이트가 렌즈에 비해 Up 속도로 움직일 때 액체-공기-고체 접촉 라인도 움직입니다 (그림 1.1 (오른쪽 패널) 참조). 특정 최소 속도를 넘어 서면 전진 및 후퇴 접촉 선 (그림 1.1, 오른쪽 패널 참조)이 불안정 해지고 각각 공기를 동반하거나 액체 필름을 웨이퍼로 끌 수 있습니다 [5].

공기와 액체 필름은 결국 기포 나 액체 방울로 부서져서 리소그래피 공정에 부정적인 영향을 미칩니다. 이 논문에서 우리는 플레이트의 속도, 웨이퍼의 습윤 특성 및 주변 공기의 점도에 따라 전진 및 후퇴하는 접촉 라인의 안정성 연구에 기여했습니다.

1.1.2 Drop-on-demand inkjet printer

최신 잉크젯 인쇄 기술은 CIJ (연속 잉크젯) 및 DOD (주문형 드롭) 잉크젯의 두 가지 주요 유형으로 나눌 수 있습니다. CIJ 프린터에서 미세 노즐에서 나오는 액체 분사는 RP (Rayleigh-Plateau) 불안정성으로 인해 물방울로 분해됩니다. 이 RP 불안정성은 액체의 흐름을 정확하게 제어 할 수있는 음향 변동을 생성하는 압전 결정에 의해 유발되어 일정한 간격으로 물방울로 분해됩니다 [7].

DOD 잉크젯 프린터는 작동 원리에 따라 두 가지 범주로 더 나눌 수 있습니다 [8]. 여기서는 압전 잉크젯 (PIJ) 프린터에만 중점을 둡니다. PIJ 프린터에서 낙하 형성은 압전 소자에 의해 생성 된 압력 파에 의해 발생합니다. PIJ 프린터의 프린트 헤드 개략도가 그림 1.2에 나와 있습니다.

PIJ 프린터는 CIJ 프린터에 비해 상대적으로 느리지 만 인쇄 품질이 훨씬 더 높습니다 [7]. 프린터의 품질은 일반적으로 평방 인치당 도트 수 (dpi)로 측정되며 최신 응용 프로그램에는 더 작은 물방울 (높은 dpi)과 더 나은 정확도가 필요합니다. 방울의 정확도와 크기에 영향을 미치는 여러 요인 중에서 노즐, 노즐 플레이트의 젖음성 및 방울 형성 ​​빈도 fDOD가 중요한 역할을합니다 [8].

좋은 방울 형성을 위해 접촉 라인의 위치는 노즐 내에서 정밀하게 제어되어야 합니다. 이 논문에서는 PIJ 프린터에서 드롭 형성의 일부 측면에만 중점을 둡니다. 우리의 연구는 노즐 습윤성과 DOD 주파수가 방울 형성 ​​과정에 미치는 영향을 연구 할 수 있는 수치 도구의 개발을 목표로 합니다.

고착 방울은 평평한 기판에 놓인 액체 방울입니다. 작은 고정 액적이 증발하는 동안 액적의 접촉선은 고정된 접촉 영역이 있는 고정된 단계와 고정된 접촉각이 있는 고정 해제된 단계의 두 가지 단계를 거칩니다. 고정된 접촉 라인이 있는 증발은 액적 내부에서 접촉 라인을 향한 흐름을 생성합니다.

이 흐름은 입자를 운반하고 접촉 선 근처에 침전시킵니다. 이로 인해 일반적으로 관찰되는 “커피 링”현상이 발생합니다. 이 논문은 증발 과정과 고착성 액적의 증발 유도 흐름에 대한 연구를 제공하고 콜로이드 현탁액에서 입자의 침착에 대한 통찰력을 제공합니다. 여기서 우리는 먼저 작은 고착 방울의 증발을 연구하고 증발 과정에서 기판의 열전도도의 중요성에 대해 논의합니다.

현재 증발 모델이 500µm 미만의 액적 크기에 대해 심각한 오류를 생성하는 방법을 보여줍니다. 우리의 모델에는 열 효과가 포함되어 있으며, 특히 증발 잠열의 균형을 맞추기 위해 액적에 열을 제공하는 기판의 열전도도를 포함합니다. 실험 결과를 바탕으로 접촉각의 진화와 관련된 접촉 선의 가상 움직임을 정의하여 고정 및 고정 해제 단계의 전체 증발 시간을 고려합니다.

우리의 모델은 2 % 미만의 오차로 500 µm보다 작은 물방울에 대한 실험 결과와 일치합니다. 또한 유한한 크기의 라인 액적의 증발을 연구하고 증발 중 접촉 라인의 복잡한 동작에 대해 논의합니다. 에너지 공식을 적용하고 접촉 선이 구형 방울의 후퇴 접촉각보다 높은 접촉각을 가진 선 방울의 두 끝에서 후퇴하기 시작 함을 보여줍니다. 그리고 라인 방울 내부의 증발 유도 흐름을 보여줍니다.

마지막으로, 계면 활성제 존재 하에서 접촉 라인의 거동을 논의하고 입자 증착에 대한 Marangoni 흐름 효과에 대해 논의합니다. 열 Marangoni 효과는 접촉 선 근처에 증착 된 입자의 양에 영향을 미치며, 기판 온도가 낮을수록 접촉 선 근처에 증착되는 입자의 양이 많다는 것을 알 수 있습니다.

Abstract

Since the inception of microfluidics, the electric force has been exploited as one of the leading mechanisms for driving and controlling the movement of the operating fluid and the charged suspensions. Electric force has an intrinsic advantage in miniaturized devices. Because the electrodes are placed over a small distance, from sub-millimeter to a few microns, a very high electric field is easy to obtain. The electric force can be highly localized as its strength rapidly decays away from the peak. This makes the electric force an ideal candidate for precise spatial control. The geometry and placement of the electrodes can be used to design electric fields of varying distributions, which can be readily realized by Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) fabrication methods. In this paper, we examine several electrically driven liquid handling operations. The emphasis is given to non-linear electrohydrodynamic effects. We discuss the theoretical treatment and related numerical methods. Modeling and simulations are used to unveil the associated electrohydrodynamic phenomena. The modeling based investigation is interwoven with examples of microfluidic devices to illustrate the applications.

요약

미세 유체학이 시작된 이래로 전기력은 작동 유체와 충전 된 서스펜션의 움직임을 제어하고 제어하는 ​​주요 메커니즘 중 하나로 활용되어 왔습니다. 전기력은 소형 장치에서 본질적인 이점이 있습니다. 전극이 밀리미터 미만에서 수 미크론까지 작은 거리에 배치되기 때문에 매우 높은 전기장을 쉽게 얻을 수 있습니다. 

전기력은 강도가 피크에서 멀어지면서 빠르게 감소하기 때문에 고도로 국부화 될 수 있습니다. 이것은 전기력을 정밀한 공간 제어를 위한 이상적인 후보로 만듭니다.

전극의 기하학적 구조와 배치는 다양한 분포의 전기장을 설계하는 데 사용될 수 있으며, 이는 MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) 제조 방법으로 쉽게 실현할 수 있습니다. 

이 논문에서 우리는 몇 가지 전기 구동 액체 처리 작업을 검토합니다. 비선형 전기 유체 역학적 효과에 중점을 둡니다. 이론적 처리 및 관련 수치 방법에 대해 논의합니다. 모델링과 시뮬레이션은 관련된 전기 유체 역학 현상을 밝히는 데 사용됩니다. 모델링 기반 조사는 응용 분야를 설명하기 위해 미세 유체 장치의 예와 결합됩니다.

초록

본 연구에서는 OTFT(Printed Organic Thin Film Transistors) 제작에 중요한 재료의 잉크젯 인쇄성이 조사되었습니다. 잉크젯 인쇄 잉크의 분사 진화를 이해하기 위해 나노 구리 및 나노 입자 은 잉크로 시뮬레이션이 수행되었습니다. 나노 구리 잉크의 잉크젯 적합성을 예측하기 위해 온도 차이가 있는 Z와 Oh 수를 측정했습니다. FLOW-3D를 이용한 시뮬레이션 연구의 결과를 Dimatix 잉크젯 프린터를 사용하여 얻은 실험 결과와 비교했습니다.

반도체 잉크의 경우, 두 유기 반도체의 잉크젯 인쇄성 P2TDC17FT4(poly[(3,7-dipdecdecyltheno[3,2-b]theno[2′,3′:4,5]theno[2,3-diopneo] 티오페인-2,6-diopeo[2,6-diotyl)]입니다.HT(poly-3 hexylthiophene)를 비교하여 낙하 속도, 낙하 볼륨 및 점화 전압 간의 관계를 확인하고, 낙하 간격 및 기판 온도가 인쇄 품질에 미치는 영향을 확인했습니다.

이러한 연구를 통해 인쇄 가능성과 인쇄 품질은 잉크젯으로 인쇄된 상단 게이트 OTFT를 완벽하게 구현하기에 충분했습니다. 주변 조건에서 인쇄되는 P2TDC17FT4의 성능은 저비용 완전 인쇄 OTFT의 실현에 중요한 영향을 미칩니다.

후처리 연구로 은색 잉크의 유망한 대체품인 나노 구리 잉크를 IPL(Incensive Pulsed Light)로 소결시키는 것이 연구되었습니다. 잉크 필름 두께와 소결 시 필요한 에너지 사이의 관계가 확인되었습니다. 잉크 필름 두께와 관련하여 유리와 PET에 소결하는데 필요한 에너지 수준을 비교한 결과, 이 잉크의 처리 요구 사항에 대한 기판의 열적 기여도가 밝혀졌습니다. 이 조사 결과는 자재 특성 요구 사항에 대한 현재의 이해와 완전히 잉크젯으로 인쇄된 OTFT를 달성하기 위한 과제를 진전시킵니다.

접촉선의 고정(Contact Line Pinning)

접촉선의 고정(Contact Line Pinning)

증발하는 빗방울에서 남은 잔류의 물은 새로 씻은 자동차에서 좋지 못할 수 있습니다. 그러나, 동일한 증발 공정은, 예를 들어, 드롭 잔류 물이 인쇄 된 이미지 또는 텍스트의 일부가되는 잉크젯 인쇄에서 유리할 수있다. 그러나 동일한 증발 과정이 어떤 경우엔 도움이 될 수 있습니다 예를 들면, 잉크 찌꺼기가 인쇄 된 이미지나 텍스트의 일부가 되는 잉크젯 인쇄가 그렇습니다.

액체 방울의 증발로 인한 잔류의 물이 예상치 못한 방식으로 나타날 수 있습니다. 커피 링 얼룩이 잘 알려진 예이며, 커피의 잔류의 물이 물방울의 바깥 쪽 가장자리에 모여 얇은 원형 링 얼룩이 남습니다. 이 현상은 흥미로운 유체역학적인 과정의 결과입니다. 커피 링 얼룩이 형성 되려면 액체가 증착 된 고체 표면에 고정 된 접촉선이 있어야합니다. 고정 된 접촉선은 액체 방울이 고체 기판과 교차하는 액체 방울의 외부의 가장자리가 방울이 증발함에 따라 정지 상태를 유지함을 의미합니다. 증발은 기판의 열에 의해 발생하며 방울의 얇은 외부의 가장자리에서 가장 크게 생깁니다. 표면 장력은 액체가 증발하면서 손실 된 액체를 대체하기 위해 가장자리를 향해 발생하게 됩니다. 이는 결국 더 많은 용질을 가장자리로 운반하며 모든 액체가 증발 한 후, 결과적으로 커피 링 얼룩을 형성하게하는 더 높은 농도의 용질 잔류 물을 생성합니다.

모델링 접근법

FLOW-3D v12.0의 최신 업데이트로 인해 ‘접촉선의 고정’ 모델이 개발되었으며, 소프트웨어의 기능이 표면 장력 중심의 애플리케이션으로도 광범위하게 확장되었습니다. 표면 접촉의 고정 및 비고정 특성은 잉크젯 인쇄, 코팅 및 스프레이 냉각에서 중요한 역할을 합니다. 습윤 특성에 대한 표면 공법은 미세 유체 장치에서 액체 샘플의 이동을 제어하는 ​​데 사용될 수 있습니다. 모델의 주요 특징은 방울의 가장자리를 고정 위치에 고정하는 수단을 제공하는 것입니다. 형상 구성 요소 및 하위 구성 요소중에 표면에 ‘고정’ 속성을 지정할 수 있습니다. 유체의 접촉선은 처음 표면과 접촉하는 곳에 고정됩니다. 전방 속도를 0으로 유지하면 고정이 적용됩니다. 유체는 접촉선과 표면을 따라 이동하는 것이 아니라 롤오버하여 접촉점을 지나야만 이동할 수 있습니다.

커피 링 얼룩 검증

그림 1은 평평한 수평 표면에 놓인 원형 물방울의 결과를 보여줍니다. 표면은 30 ℃의 일정한 온도로 유지됩니다. 초기 유체 온도는 20 ℃이고 주변 공극의 온도는 일정한 20 ℃입니다. 유체는 밀도 0.967 g/cm3, 점도 0.02022 poise, 비열 1.645e+07 cm2/s/K, 열전도도 1.2964e+4 g*cm/s3/K, 표면 장력 계수 33.15 g/cm2의 일반적인 잉크를 나타냅니다.

그림 1. 고정 된 접촉선을 사용하여 건조 공정 중의 물방울 모양의 변화.

액적 표면의 초기 곡률 반경은 7.5e-03 cm이고, 차지하는 공간은 반경 4.5e-03 cm의 원이며, 겉보기의 초기 접촉각은 37.87 도입니다. 그림 1-a를 참조하시기 바랍니다. 지정된 정적 접촉각은 0 도입니다.

정압에 의한 상변화 모델이 활성화됩니다. 공극 내의 증기 분압은 0이고 상변화 수용 계수는 Rsize = 0.01 입니다.

잉크가 건조될 때 기판 상에 고체가 잔류하는 물이 형성되는 것을 포착하기 위해 잔류 물 모델도 켜집니다. 유체에 용해 된 안료의 농도는 초기 농도 0.01 g/cm3 이고 최대 농도 rmax = 1.1625 g/cm3 에서 운반이 가능한 스칼라로 표시됩니다. 용해 된 안료는 질량 평균을 기준으로 안료의 단위질량당 0.05 poise의 속도로 유체의 순 점도를 향상시킵니다.

이 공정은 3.0 도의 방위 방향으로 하나의 셀에 걸쳐있는 축 대칭 원통형 메쉬로 모델링됩니다. (x 간격 = 6e-05 cm, z 간격 = 4e-05 cm.)

그림 1은 유체가 증발함에 따라 접촉선이 고정 된 상태를 유지하고 있음을 보여줍니다. 0 도의 정적 접촉각 조건은 액적의 중심을 향한 압력 구배를 가져오고, 이는 접촉선 방향으로의 유동을 생성합니다. 용해 된 안료의 농도는 증발로 인해 자유 표면 근처에서 증가하며, 흐름을 따라 농도는 접촉선을 향해 더욱 재분배합니다. (그림 2). 액체가 계속 증발함에 따라, 남아있는 액체의 안료 농도는 증가합니다. 농도가 최대 rmax에 도달하면, 과잉된 안료는 고체가 잔류하는 물로 전환됩니다.

그림2. g / cm3 단위의 안료 농도 및 t = 2.0ms에서의 흐름 패턴. 흐름은 고정 된 접촉선을 향하여 안료 농도가 증가합니다.

접촉선 근처의 유체가 먼저 건조되어 고체가 잔류하는 물이 남습니다. 해당 영역의 유체에 안료 농도가 높기 때문에 고체가 잔류하는 물의 특징인 ‘커피 링’ 패턴이 기판 표면에 생성됩니다. (그림 3 및 4). 안료의 총 질량(용해 + 건조 잔류 물)은 초기 질량의 0.025 % 이내로 보존됩니다.

그림 3. 모든 유체가 증발 된 후 기판 표면에 건조된 잔류 물의 분포 (단위 : g / cm3) .
가장 높은 농도는 고정 된 접촉선의 위치에 있으며, 이는 ‘커피 링’ 효과를 만들어냅니다.
그림 4. 유체가 완전히 증발 한 후 초기 액적의 반경을 따라 건조된 잔류 물의 예상 분포.

물방울 벽의 검증

그림5. 수직 벽에 고정 된 물방울의 변형 : t = 0 ms (파란색), t = 4e-02 ms (연한 파랑) t = 0.2 ms (빨간색).
해당 이미지는 “Effects of microscale topography”, Y.V.Kalinin, V.Berejnov and R. E. Thorne, Langmuir 25, 5391-5397. (2009). 에서의 이미지입니다.

접촉선 고정 응용의 두 번째 예는 수직의 벽에 고정 된 한 방울의 액체 알루미늄의 거동입니다. 유체 밀도는 2.7 g / cm3, 표면 장력 계수 200 g / cm2 및 점도 0.27 poise입니다. 정적 접촉각은 0 도입니다.

초기의 겉보기의 접촉각이 90도가 되도록 반경 0.5cm의 물방울을 수직 벽에 놓습니다 (그림 5). 7e+06 cm/s2의 중력 크기는 표면 장력의 복원 작용을 없애고 액적이 눈에 띄도록 변형시키기 위하여 인위적으로 향상되었습니다. 결과들은 비슷한 크기의 물방울에 대한 실험 결과와의 질적 비교를 포함하여 그림 5에서 보여줍니다.

요약

FLOW-3D의 접촉선 고정 모델은 표면 장력 및 벽의 접착 기능을 확장하여 표면 공법에서 복잡한 상호 작용을 모델링합니다. 접촉선 고정이 실제로 응용되는 분야에 관하여 더 많은 예시와 추가적인 참조를 찾으신다면 여기에서 찾을 수 있습니다.

접촉선의 이해(Contact Line Insights)

접촉선의 이해(Contact Line Insights)

FLOW-3D는 코팅 성능 향상에 관심이있는 엔지니어에게 이상적인 수치 모델링 기능을 많이 갖추고 있습니다. 전산 시뮬레이션은 코팅 흐름에 영향을 미치는 여러 물리적 과정의 상대적 중요성과 효과를 연구 할 수있는 훌륭한 방법입니다. 물리적인 테스트에서 항상 프로세스를 분리하거나 해당 프로세스의 크기를 임의로 조정할 수있는 것은 아닙니다. 여기에서는 리 볼렛 형성(rivulet formation), 핑거링(fingering), 증발, 거친 표면에서의 접촉선 이동 및 유체 흡수와  관련하여 정적 및 동적 접촉각에 대하여 FLOW-3D의 처리에 대해 설명합니다.

 

정적 및 동적 접촉각(Static and Dynamic Contact Angles)

FLOW-3D는 정적 접촉각의 함수로 동적 접촉각을 정확하게 계산하고 입력으로 설정하며 자유 표면 인터페이스에서 작용하는 관련된 힘을 정확하게 계산하여 유체의 소수성을 캡처 할 수 있습니다. 아래 시뮬레이션은 물방울이 경사를 따라 내려갈 때 정적 접촉각이 동적 접촉각에 미치는 영향을 보여줍니다.

 

흡수(Absorption)

종이 기판에 액 적의 충격 및 흡수는 전산 유체 역학 소프트웨어를 사용하여 연구 할 수 있습니다. 여기서 FLOW-3D는 섬유층에서 물방울 충돌을 시뮬레이션하는데 사용되며 표면 장력, 접촉각 및 점도와 관련된 유체 전면의 전파를 살펴 봅니다.

 

 

아래의 FLOW-3D 시뮬레이션에서, 낙하는 직경이 40 미크론이며 초기 하향 속도는 300 cm / s입니다. 기재는 종이이고, 기공률이 30 % 인 20 미크론 두께입니다.

 

 

액체 필름의 핑거링(Fingering in Liquid Films)

FLOW-3D에서 동적 접촉선은 동적 접촉각이나 접촉선의 위치를 ​​지정할 필요없이 직접 모델링됩니다. 이는 소량의 유체에서 유체에 영향을 미치는 모든 동적 힘을 포함하는 수치 모델을 사용하여 수행됩니다. 정적 접촉각은 액체-고체 접착력을 특성화 하는데 사용됩니다.

액체 시트의 핑거링. 왼쪽은 0 °, 오른쪽은 70 °

여기서, 이러한 접근법의 힘의 적용은 경사 표면 아래로 흐르는 액체 필름에서 관찰 된 핑거링에 의해 제공됩니다. 실험적 관찰에 따르면 두 가지 뚜렷한 핑거링 패턴이 발생합니다. 첫 번째 패턴은 작은 정적 접촉각(즉, 습윤 조건)이며 상하한이 모두 하향으로 움직이는 쐐기형 핑거를 나타냅니다. 두 번째 패턴은 큰 정적 접촉각(즉, 습윤 조건이 열악함)이며 가장 균일한 폭을 가진 긴 핑거이고 가장 큰 한계점은 하향으로 움직이지 않는 것이 특징입니다.

 

 

증발 효과(Evaporative Effects)

퇴적(Deposit)

분산 된 고체 물질을 함유하는 액 적은 고체 표면에서 건조 될 때, 함유하고 있는 고체 물질을 침전물로서 남깁니다. 이 침전물의 형상이 많은 인쇄 공정, 청소 및 코팅 공정에 중요한 영향을 미칩니다. 한 종류의 퇴적물의 전형적인 예는 위의 이미지와 같이 엎질러 진 커피 패치의 둘레를 따라 링 얼룩이 형성되는 “커피 링” 문제입니다. 이 유형의 링 침전물은 액체의 증발로 인한 표면 장력 구동 흐름의 결과로, 특히 낙하 둘레에서 발생합니다.

 

건조(Drying)

FLOW-3D의 증발 잔류 액체 모델은 건조 후 톨루엔으로 형성된 잔류된 물의 3D형상을 시뮬레이션합니다. (30 배 확대)

건조는 코팅 공정의 중요한 부분입니다. 하지만 건조의 결함으로 잘 도포 된 코팅을 완전히 취소 할 수도 있습니다. 건조 중에 온도 및 용질 구배는 밀도 및 표면 장력 구배로 인해 코팅 내 유동을 유도 할 수 있으며, 이는 코팅 품질을 잠재적으로 파괴 할 수 있습니다. FLOW-3D의 증발 잔류 물 모델을 사용하면 건조로 인한 흐름을 시뮬레이션하고 값 비싼 물리적 실험에 소요되는 시간을 줄일 수 있습니다.

 

모델링 링 형성(Modeling Ring Formation)

증발에 의해 접촉 라인에서 생성 된 흐름 시뮬레이션

윗쪽 그림에서 FLOW-3D는 증발이 가장 큰 접촉선에서의 증착으로 인해 에지 피닝(edge pinning)이 발생함을 보여줍니다. 증발은 증발로 인한 열 손실로 인해 액체를 냉각시킵니다 (색상은 온도를 나타냄). 동시에 고체 표면은 전도에 의해 액체를 가열합니다. 접촉선 주변에서 증발이 가장 커서, 액체가 접촉선을 향해 흘러 정적 조건을 재설정합니다. 최종 결과는 액체가 완전히 증발하는 액체 가장자리에 현탁 된 고체의 증착입니다.

신속, 반복, 작은 물방울의 생성 및 증착, 작은 형상의 프린팅 또는 패터닝 (예 : l = 10-3-1 mm), 스프레이로  균일한 두께의 박막 형성은 다양한 산업에 매우 중요합니다(1-5). 액체 이동과 액적 형성 / 증착 공정은 복잡한 자유 표면 흐름, 자연적인 모세관운동 형성, thinning, pinch-off를 수반한다 (1-5). 단순한 뉴턴 및 비탄성 유체에 대해 액적 생성 및 액적 이동을 분석하기위한 실험적, 이론적 및 1 차원 시뮬레이션 연구가 진행되었지만 프린팅 또는 패터닝에 대한 기계론적인 이해는 여전히 과제로 남아 있습니다. 현재의 계산에 대한 주된 목표는 뉴턴 유체의 pinch-off에 대한 기계론적 이해를 얻기 위해 FLOW-3D에 내장된 VOF(volume-of-fluid) 접근법으로 시험하는 것입니다. 전산해석은 모세관, 관성, 점성 응력의 복잡한 상호 작용을 포착하여 자기유사 모세관의 thinning and pinch-off를 결정합니다. 뉴턴 유체의 물방울 형성 ​​및 분리현상은  전산해석으로부터 얻어진 자기유사 모세관현상 이론, 보편적인 축소화 기법인 1D 시뮬레이션 (1-7)과 실험 (1, 2, 8-12)을 이용하여 설명될 수 있음을 보여준다. 이러한 우리가 진행한 원형흐름 시뮬레이션은 유한한 시간의 비선형 역학, 위성 낙하현상, 복잡한 형상의 프린팅과 같이 어려운 전산해석의 기반이 될 것 입니다.

Modeling Approach and Parameter Space

표면 장력 및 중력 모델을 적용한 FLOW-3D 에서 균일한 메쉬 크기를 사용하여 노즐에서 드롭 형성 및 분리에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였습니다. 유한 체적의 유체를 떨어뜨리거나 분리하는 일은 물방울의 성장과 드롭, 노즐에 연결되는 모세관 현상, 관성, 점도 및 중력에 대한 상호 작용을 수반합니다. 시뮬레이션에서 스테인레스 강 노즐 ( {{D} _ {0}} = 2 {{R} _ {0}} = 1.7 \, \ text {mm}) 에서 유한 체적의 뉴턴 유체가 발생합니다. 표면 장력이 중력을 겪으면 새로 형성된 액적 분리가 발생합니다 (mg> 2 \ pi \ sigma {{R} _ {0}}). 시뮬레이션은 유체점도의 영향을 설명하기 위해 두 그룹으로 나누어져 있습니다: 저점도 유체 (글리세롤 함량이 40 % 미만인 물과 글리세롤/물 혼합물) 및 점도가 높은 유체 (예 : 글리세롤과 글리세롤/물 혼합물 점도 > 100x 물 점도). 두 그룹의 유체 특성은 각각 표 1과 2에 나와 있습니다.

Discussion of the Simulation Results

드롭 형성 및 분리는 표1과 표2에 열거 된 유체에 대해 FLOW-3D 를 사용하여 시뮬레이션 하였고, 시간 경과에 따른 necking 모양, 반경을 분석하였습니다. 물방울의 necking 모양과 저점도에서의 necking에 대한 역학(그림 1 참조)은 실험, 흐름 이론, 1D 시뮬레이션, 자기유사 관성에 대한 모세현상의 특성을 나타냅니다 (1, 2, 6, 7, 13) :

(1)  \ displaystyle \ frac {{R (t)}} {{{{R} _ {0}}}} \ approx 0.8 R {{{{왼쪽} {R} {0} 3}}} 오른쪽}) ^ {{{{frac {1} {3}}} {{왼쪽 {{{{왼쪽}}} {2} {3}}}}

여기서 R (t)가  necking의 순간 반경이고, R0는 노즐의 외부반경이며,  \ displaystyle \ sigma 는 표면 장력,  \ displaystyle \ rho 는 유체의 밀도 tC 는 pinch-off 시간이다. 마찬가지로, 이러한 더 높은 점도의 뉴턴유체에 대한 반경 변화데이터는 시간에 따른 반경의 감소를 나타내는 것이며,  Papageorgiou’s visco-capillary scaling (8, 9)은 아래의 식으로 표현된다.

(2)  \ {0 \} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} { } ({{t} _ {p}} - t)

모세관 속도(표면 장력과 점도의 비)의 측정 값은 McKinley와 Tripathi (8)에 의해 Capillary Break-Up Extensional Rheometer (CaBER)라고 불리는 상업적으로 이용 가능한 장비를 사용하여 얻은 값과 모세관 속도는 공칭 표면 장력과 점도를 사용하여 계산됩니다.

FLOW-3D 는 물방울의 necking부분을 속도 벡터로 시각화하여 유체의 흐름을 나타낼 수 있습니다. 또한, 이는 그림 1과 같이 전단, 확장을 겪은 후 얇아지는 물방울이 흐르는 과정의 순간을 결정할 수 있는 가능성을 줍니다. 추가로, 낮은 점도의 뉴턴유체는 높은 점도의 뉴턴 유체에 비해 질적으로 다른 거동을 보여준다(그림 2참조). 낮은 점도의 뉴턴 유체에 대한 necking 프로파일은 이론(6,13)에 따라 자기 유사성이 됩니다.

Conclusions, Outlook and Ongoing work

우리의 예비결과는 FLOW-3D 기반의 전산해석이 액적 형성과 탈착의 기초가 되는 프로토타입의 자유 표면흐름을 시뮬레이션하는데 사용될 수 있음을 보여줍니다 . 시뮬레이션된 반경변화 프로파일이 실험적으로 관찰된 높은 유체 및 이론적으로 예측된 유체인 스케일링 법칙 및 pinch-off dynamics과 일치하는 것을 발견하였습니다.

자주 사용되는 1D 또는 2D 모델과 달리 FLOW-3D 는 기본 응력 및 확장 유동장 (균일도 및 크기)의 강도와 얇은 액체 필라멘트 내 흐름에 대한 시각화를 나타낼 수 있습니다(그림1과 2 참조). 확장 유동장과 연관된 흐름 방향 속도 구배는 모세관현상이 나타나는 물방울의 얇은 부분 내에서 발생합니다. 유동학적으로 복잡한 유체에서 non Newtonian shear 및 신장, 점도뿐만 아니라 그외의 탄성 응력이 nonlinear pinch-off dynamics을 급격하게 변화시킵니다(2, 10-12). 우리는 현재 점탄성과 non-Newtonian 유동학을 사용하여 FLow-3D에 복합 유체의 처리 성능평가를 위한 강력한 연산 프로토콜을 개발하고 있습니다.

Simulating the Wetting and Drying of Shallow Flows [얕은 흐름의 습윤 및 건조 시뮬레이션]

Introduction
Shallow flows, characterized by having a thickness much smaller than their lateral extent, can often be modeled by a depth-averaged (shallow-water or 2.5 dimensional) approximation.
Average fluid velocities are computed in the layer and the top fluid surface is free to move, which leads to a changing fluid-layer thickness. The advantages of this approach are its speed
and simplicity over full three-dimensional simulations.
One complication, however, is how to efficiently account for dynamic contact-line effects at lateral boundaries of the fluid. These boundaries are free to move over the underlying solid
surface. Furthermore, the fluid contact angle at these boundaries depends on the local dynamic flow conditions.
In this paper we present a new shallow-flow computational method based on the Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) technique, which conserves fluid mass, while allowing for general wetting and
drying behavior. Non-uniform surface tension and fluid-substrate interactions, defined by a static contact angle, are included in the model. No special prescriptions are needed to locate
contact line locations or define dynamic contact angles.

Contact Line Insights

FLOW-3D의 수치 모델링 기능은 코팅 성능 향상에 관심이 있는 엔지니어에게 이상적입니다. 계산 시뮬레이션은 코팅 흐름에 영향을 미치는 다양한 물리적 공정의 상대적 중요성과 효과를 연구하는 훌륭한 방법입니다. 물리적 테스트에서 프로세스를 분리하거나 해당 프로세스의 규모를 임의로 조정하는 것이 항상 가능한 것은 아닙니다. 이 섹션에서는 리 블릿 형성(rivulet formation), 핑거링(fingering), 증발, 거친 표면 위의 접촉선 이동 및 유체 흡수와 관련하여 FLOW-3D의 정적 및 동적 접촉각 처리에 대해 설명합니다.

Static and Dynamic Contact Angles

FLOW-3D는 입력으로 설정된 정적 접촉각의 함수로 동적 접촉각과 자유 표면 인터페이스에서 작용하는 관련 힘을 정확하게 계산하여 유체의 소수성을 캡처 할 수 있습니다. 아래 시뮬레이션은 물방울이 경사면 아래로 이동함에 따라 정적 접촉각이 동적 접촉각에 미치는 영향을 보여줍니다.

L.M. Hocking 박사는 그의 저서 [“A moving fluid interface on a rough surface,” J. Fluid Mech., 76, 801, (1976)]에서 표면에 미세한 요철이 흐름 구조를 유도하기 때문에 Contact line이 고체 표면을 통해 이동할 수 있으며 이는 거시적 관점에서 “velocity slip”로 해석 될 수 있다고 했습니다.

이 가설에 대한 전산 해석은 FLOW-3D를 이용하여 쉽게 수행됩니다. 선택된 테스트는 가로, 규칙적으로 이격 된 직사각형 슬롯 패턴 이차원 고체 표면 구성됩니다. 슬롯은 2mm 깊이 10mm 폭, 그리고 그들 사이 폭 10mm 고체 조각을 갖고 이격 됩니다. 이 크기는 전형적으로 상대적으로 부드러운 표면에 긁힌 모양입니다. 액체와 고체 사이의 정적인 접촉각이 60 °가 되도록 선택 하였습니다. 작동 유체는 물로 선정되었고 시험은 채널을 통해 속도30cm / s의 평균 물높이 15mm의 채널의 바닥에 있는 거친 표면을 두고 구동 이루어져 있습니다. 채널의 상단은 free-slip boundary로 정해집니다.

Hocking의 주장대로 micro-scale 교란이 Large scale 관점에서 보았을 때 계산된 속도장으로 보면 velocity slip의 한 종류로서 해석 될 수 있습니다. 아래는 계산된 수평 속도 분포를 나타내고 있습니다. 이것은 표면 바로 위에 제어 볼륨 층의 계산 된 수평 속도 분포를 제공하는 X-Y 플롯에 그래픽으로 보여 주고 있습니다. 격자 미세화에 의해 표면의 고체 부분의 윗쪽 속도가 영이 되는 경향이 있지만, 슬롯들 위에 있는 속도는 영이 안되게 유지됩니다. 많은 요철 위의 이러한 속도의 평균은 효과적인 슬립으로 해석 될 수 있는 non-zero 수평 이송 속도를 일으킵니다.

Evaporative Effects

분산된 고체 물질을 포함하는 액체 방울이 고체 표면에서 건조되면 고체 물질이 침전물로 남습니다. 이 퇴적물의 패턴은 많은 인쇄, 청소 및 코팅 공정에 중요한 의미를 갖습니다. 한 가지 유형의 침전물의 전형적인 예는 왼쪽 이미지와 같이 유출 된 커피 조각의 둘레를 따라 링 얼룩이 형성되는 “커피 링”문제입니다. 이러한 유형의 링 침전물은 액체의 증발로 인한 표면 장력 구동 흐름의 결과로 발생하며, 특히 방울 주변에서 발생합니다 [1].

Drying

건조는 코팅 공정의 중요한 부분입니다. 잘 도포된 코팅은 건조 결함으로 인해 완전히 손상될 수 있습니다. 건조 중에 온도 및 용질 구배는 밀도 및 표면 장력 구배로 인해 코팅 내 흐름을 유도 할 수 있으며, 이로 인해 잠재적으로 코팅 품질이 손상 될 수 있습니다. FLOW-3D의 증발 잔류물 모델을 통해 사용자는 건조로 인한 흐름을 시뮬레이션하고 값 비싼 물리적 실험에 소요되는 시간을 줄일 수 있습니다.

Modeling Ring Formation

FLOW-3D는 증발이 가장 큰 접촉 라인에서의 증착으로 인해 에지 고정이 발생 함을 보여줍니다.

증발에 의해 접촉 라인에서 생성 된 흐름 시뮬레이션
증발은 증발로 인한 열 손실로 인해 액체를 냉각시킵니다 (색상은 온도를 나타냄). 동시에 고체 표면은 전도에 의해 액체를 가열합니다. 증발은 접촉 라인 근처에서 가장 크므로 액체가 접촉 라인을 향해 흐르게하여 정적 상태를 다시 설정합니다. 최종 결과는 액체가 완전히 증발하는 액체 가장자리에 부유 고체가 증착됩니다.
