| Abstract | The emergence of a droplet from a capillary tube opening into a reservoir is an important phenomenon in several applications. In this work, we are particularly interested in this phenomenon in an attempt to highlight the physics behind droplet appearance. The emergence of a droplet from a tube opening into a reservoir under quasi-static conditions passes through three stages. The first stage starts when the meniscus in the tube reaches the exit. At this moment, the meniscus intersects the wall of the tube at the equilibrium contact angle. The interface then develops until its radius of curvature becomes equal to the tube radius. During this stage, the capillary pressure increases. In the second stage, the interface continues to evolve with its radius of curvature increasing until the static contact angle with respect to the surface of the reservoir is achieved. This marks the end of the second stage and the start of the third in which the contact line (CL) starts to depart the tube opening along the reservoir surface and the contact angle remains constant. Analytical models for the three stages have been derived based on the law of conservation of linear momentum. The models account for pressure, gravitational, capillary, and viscous forces, while inertia force is ignored. The model can predict the profiles of the mean velocity in the tube, the capillary pressure, and the evolution of the contact angle. In addition, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation has been conducted to provide a framework for validation and verification of the developed model. The CFD simulation shows qualitative behavior in terms of snapshots of the emerging droplet with time similar to that speculated by the analytical model. In addition, quantitative comparisons with respect to velocity, pressure, and volume profiles of the droplet show very good agreement, which builds confidence in the modeling approach.The emergence of a droplet from a capillary tube opening into a reservoir is an important phenomenon in several applications.
