Brownian dynamics for modeling the evolution of double emulsions Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • In this work we present a numerical model for the evolution of double emulsions using Brownian Dynamics formalism. The coalescence process was modeled as a simple stochastic process. A double emulsion globule was modeled as a system whith droplets initially confined in a spherical cavity. The droplets encapsulated are allowed to coalesce between them inside the cavity and to coalesce toward the exterior with specific probabilities. We found that our model reproduces qualitatively trends observed in experimental results.
