I want to model collision of a particle into a droplet. A water droplet is falling by gravity and a solid particle is shot toward that to hit the drop. Collision outcome is a conic liquid film which forms like a liquid skirt for particle (please see lamella formation in attached file).
I need to simulate this phenomenon and compare the results with what I get from experiments. However, I need first to choose the most suitable simulation software capable of considering the followings:
- Particle motion in air and in droplet
- Change in particle-droplet interface during penetration of particle into droplet
- Effect of contact angle of liquid on particle surface
I need to know whether Comsol is capable of simulating this phenomenon. or it's better to use something else (OpenFoam, Fluent (we have license at university), Gerris, etc.)
I really appreciate your help in advance.
