摘要
Metal droplet drop-on-demand (DOD) jetting process involves a two-phase flow accompanied by a free interface. In this paper, a new model based on a level set method (LSM) was developed to investigate the DOD jetting of Al droplets under pulsed argon gas. The effects of the gas pulse width and pulse pressure on the ejected droplet velocity and size were analyzed. The results show that LSM has the excellent capacity of tracking the free interface between the Al droplet and shielding gas. Moreover, the droplet diameter increases linearly with the pulse width. With the rise of the pulse pressure, initial droplet velocity is significantly increased.
