A study on the uniform metal droplet generation using Laser

레이저를 이용한 균일 금속 액적 생성에 관한 연구

This paper presents a study of the uniform metal droplet generation using laser. The theoretical model, based on the variational principle instead of solving the Wavier-Stokes equation with moving boundaries, is developed. Our model is considered the Young-Laplace equation and force equilibrium conditions. Surface tension coefficient is determined under the statical condition with induced differential equation by using experimental result. In case of dynamic vibration, metal droplet shape and critical detaching volume are predicted by recalculating of proposed model. The simulation result revealed that the developed model could reasonably describe the molten metal droplet behavior on vibration with metal wire.
