Investigation of droplet deformation in constricted microchannels

Abstract

This report encapsulates the author’s Final Year Project that was conducted over the past one year. The project focuses on the main topic of droplet deformation in constricted microchannel, and its objectives include the inherent fluid properties which resulted in formation of droplets in the first place, the factors that affect droplet deformation and finally the differences between Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in relation to deformation of the droplets whist traversing through the microchannel.
