Description
We are excited to present v1.0 of our Herschel–Bulkley Worthington Jets & Droplets repository. This release offers a one-stop solution for simulating bubble bursting in complex non-Newtonian media, capturing how shear-thinning, shear-thickening, and yield stress modify Worthington jet formation and droplet ejection.
Highlights:
• Easy Basilisk Setup - Automate your Basilisk setup using reset_install_requirements.sh, so you can quickly get to running 2D or axisymmetric simulations of non-Newtonian bubble bursting.
• Herschel–Bulkley Formulation Model fluids spanning from shear-thinning to shear-thickening, including the Bingham model as a special case. This covers yield-stress effects and accommodates Newtonian flow in the limiting scenario.
• Dimensionless Exploration Investigate the interplay between plasto-capillary number, effective Ohnesorge number, and power-law index. Understand how each parameter shapes jet speed, droplet pinch-off, and overall bubble cavity collapse dynamics.
• Flexible Compilation & Run Options Use our Makefile-driven approach for easy interactive visualization or direct qcc compilation for HPC clusters and local machines.
