Furthermore, unequal droplet-splitting can provide greater flexibility and a wider range of dilution factors. In this study, we developed two-dimensional, time-dependent complex fluid dynamics simulations to model droplet formation in a flow focusing device, followed by splitting in a Y-shaped junction with sub-channels of unequal widths. From the results obtained from the numerical study, we correlated the diameters of the droplets in the sub-channels to the Weber number, thereby demarcating the droplet splitting and non-splitting regimes. }, journal = {International Journal of Biomedical and Biological Engineering}, volume = {15}, number = {5}, year = {2021}, pages = {177 - 181}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10012038}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/173}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 173, 2021}, }
