Abstract
A level-set method is presented for computation of microdroplet evaporation including not only the effects of heat and mass transfer, phase change and contact line dynamics but also the Marangoni effect, which is a key parameter affecting the internal flow of the droplet and the particle deposition pattern. A sharp-interface formulation of the Marangoni force is derived and tested for two-phase Marangoni convection in a cavity. The computed results show good convergence in both the liquid and gas regions and are in excellent agreement with the analytical solutions. The level-set formulation is applied to microdroplet evaporation on a solid surface to investigate the Marangoni effect.
