Understanding Shipboard Oil/Water Emulsions Using Macro- and Micro-Scale Flows

Abstract

This project will provide an understanding of the fundamental knowledge base of the generation, stabilization and worsening of shipboard oil/water emulsion. This work explores the factors including shear/mixing, salinity, interfacial tension, and water/oil/surfactant ratios that influences the emulsion dynamics at both micro- and macro- scale.
