Droplet dynamics in Burgers vortices. II. Heat transfer
Orr Avni, Yuval Dagan
Abstract
This second part of a paper series extends the previous model to account for the role of heat transfer in the equilibrium and transient response of droplet-vortex systems, serving as a case model for a broader range of interactions between droplets and vortical flows. The presented scaling analysis elucidates the coupling between heat and mass transport mechanism and uncovers the timescale characteristic of each within vortical structures. We analyze the extent to which nonlinear transport processes play a significant role in the droplet's dynamic response. This analysis may serve as an estimation for the thermodynamic conditions in which the incorporation of nonlinear effects is substantial.
