| Abstract: | A numerical simulation was conducted to investigate the inner flow in an oscillating liquid droplet. A 2D model was proposed to describe the interfacial and inner flow of oscillating droplets with shear stress induced by outside air flow. The 2D inner flow field was reconstructed to explore the liquid flow velocity and pressure profile and better understand the oscillating mechanisms. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
