Application process of CFD-numerical simulation technology for multiphase flow characteristics study in droplet-microfluidic systems

The highly integrated microfluidic system has been widely used in many scientific fields due to its advantages such as large specific surface area, short transfer distance, and fast mixing speed, etc. However, the interaction and dynamic behavior of multiphase flows in microchannels are affected by many aspects, hence, it is difficult to fully understand the multiphase mass and heat transfer process, obtain flow field characteristic parameters, and reveal the interaction of multiphase flows only through experimental observation techniques and theoretical prediction methods. Compared to the formers, the rapid development of CFD-numerical simulation technology provides a more intuitive, effective, and accurate alternative approach for the prediction and analysis of multiphase flow characteristics in microfluidic channels. In this paper, the application process of numerical simulation technology for multiphase flow characteristics study in droplet-microfluidic systems is comprehensively reviewed, covering the structure and evolution of droplet-microfluidic devices, the method, and optimization of numerical simulation, as well as the process and interaction of multiphase flow in the microchannel.
