Study on inertial capture of particles by a droplet in a wide Reynolds number range

Inertial capture of particles by a droplet is the physical basis of wet deposition in the atmospheric environment and wet scrubbing in industries. In this study three-dimensional direct numerical simulations were performed to quantify the characteristics of the flow field and the deposition behavior of the particles with different inertia at seven typical droplet Reynolds numbers (Re). In the vortex shedding regime (270
