Abstract
Microfluidic technology has provided the possibility of double and multi-layered emulsion generation consisting of layers to project the core material which has several biomedical and industrial applications. However, limited numerical analysis and geometrical factors, as a powerful means of performance enhancement, are conducted in this literature. In this study, parametric research about the effects of characteristic design parameters on droplet generation by using Lattice Boltzmann Method is presented. In this regard, a new one-step model based on the co-flowing concept is designed and the influential geometrical factors are determined. Furthermore, each factor is optimized individually and a better outlook for further research and manufacturing is provided. The results are reported in terms of drop and droplet size, shell thickness and separations points. Consequently, for a specific purpose, the desired design parameters can be selected to increase the droplet generation performance.
