Abstract: Abstract In this paper, several numerical simulations of diphasic flows in microchannels are presented. The flow in both cylindrical and rectangular channels is considered. The aim is to compute the shape of the droplets and the velocity fields inside and outside the droplets and to quantify the influence of the geometry. The Level Set method is used to follow the interface between the fluids.
