研究目的
Investigating the motion of water droplets suspended in mineral oil under exposure of a focused continuous wave (CW) fiber laser beam and the resulting thermocapillary (or Marangoni) convection flows.
研究成果
The study demonstrated that water droplets suspended in mineral oil exhibit oscillatory behavior when exposed to a focused CW fiber laser beam, with the oscillation frequency and amplitude linearly correlated to the droplet size. This finding may contribute to the understanding of droplet manipulation in microfluidics.
研究不足
The study focuses on droplets in the range of 10 to 30 μm and does not explore the behavior of droplets outside this range. The interaction between droplets is not considered unless they are nearly touching.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used a CW fiber laser to induce thermocapillary-driven flow for manipulation of droplets.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Water droplets suspended in mineral oil were used, with sizes ranging from 10 to 30 μm.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A CW fiber laser operating at 1064 nm, a 4 cm focal length lens, a 200 frame per second CMOS camera, and a yellow LED for recording.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The laser beam was focused on the droplets suspended in mineral oil, and their motion was recorded.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The recorded videos were analyzed to determine the coordinates of the droplets in each frame, and the oscillation frequency and amplitude were calculated.
