Surfactants are necessary in very small scale 3D inkjet printing in order to control and reduce agglomeration leading to nozzle clogging. This numerical study specially focuses on nano-droplet formation that takes place at the nozzle. As nano-droplet formation can be modelled by Many-Body Dissipa...
