Modeling an emulsion droplet in a retangular channel

[julian]

Hi,

I have just begun learning how to use this package. I would like to know how to set up a system to model an emulsion droplet in a 3D rectangular channel under a pressure-driven flow.

I would like to know how to generate a spherical droplet as an initial configuration.

I am also learning how to construct a 3D rectangular channel as a first step. I will need a more complicated geometry later on.

I am reading the User Guide now. Please tell me a more efficient way to get started. Thanks a lot.

Hi Julian,

to see how to setup a 3D droplet with an appropriate model, you can check the youngLaplace3d example which uses a phase field model to measure the Young-Laplace pressure of a droplet. It shows how to initialize a spherical order parameter field in 3d in the beginning of prepareLattice.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Tim
