Defects of structure in one-dimensional trains of drops of alternating composition
Résumé
Merging two periodic droplet trains at a T-junction, we investigate the production of one-dimensional (1D) trains of drops of alternating composition. The structure of these trains consists of a succession of well-defined patterns and defects. A discrete model recently introduced to describe the structure of double emulsions made with two-step microfluidic dripping techniques predicts the nature of these patterns and their scheme of arrangement in a train as functions of the rates at which the two droplet trains reach the junction. Millifluidic experiments validate these predictions.
