Abstract
Ferrofluids are used in various fields such as drug delivery systems, heat transfer, biotechnology and separation processes. In this study, the splitting of ferrofluid microdroplets in symmetric and asymmetric T-junctions in the presence of a magnetic field has been investigated numerically and experimentally. These studies have shown that the creation of an asymmetric magnetic field can either affect the phenomenon of ferrofluid microdroplet breakup or the volume of microdroplets that are created after breaking and leaving each branch. Furthermore, more control can be applied to the phenomenon of microdroplet breakup. In the numerical study, the ferrofluid microdroplet breakup at different...
