Abstract
In the present paper, computational fluid dynamics simulation was performed to study the drop formation in single holes in a solvent extraction. The SOLA-volume of fluid (VOF) method was used to simulate the drop formation. In this code, the complete form of Navier-stocks equations was predicted two dimensions and using finite difference method. Also in this study, the effects of the hole size on the droplet diameter and its formation time at low rates was studied.
