Three-Dimensional CFD-Simulation of a Thermal Bubble Jet Printhead

Lindemann T., Sassano D., Bellone A., Zengerle R., Koltay P., University of Freiburg, DE

This paper reports on a three-dimensional simulation of a commercial, thermally actuated bubble jet printhead using an appropriate pressure boundary condition for the bubble nucleation and expansion. The ink jet system has been used as [...]

Novel Microfluidic Jet Deflection: Significant Modeling Challenge with Great Application Potential

Delametter C.N., Trauernicht D.P., Chwalek J.M., Eastman Kodak Company, US

A novel method is described for deflecting a liquid jet emanating from an orifice having a diameter of approximately ten microns. While awkward mechanical valves or unwieldy electrodes can be used to deflect a jet, [...]
