    摘要: Techniques for determining a damping rate of unforced oscillations of a meniscus are disclosed. An example method includes receiving input describing a shape of a container, physical parameters of a liquid inside the container, and an equilibrium shape of the meniscus. The method also includes generating a mesh conforming to the shape of the container and generating a discrete version of a continuous eigenvalue problem based on this mesh. The method also includes computing, at appropriate mesh nodes, values for pressure, velocity components, and meniscus surface deformation corresponding to a suitable number of least-damped late-time oscillation modes of the liquid and computing an angular frequency and damping rate of these least-damped late-time oscillation modes from the discrete version of the continuous eigenvalue problem. The method also includes identifying the mode that has the lowest damping rate and computing a liquid relaxation time by inverting the damping rate of the identified mode.

    摘要: A drop-on-demand (DOD) printer is disclosed having an ejector which may include a nozzle, the nozzle including a tank in communication with a source of printing material, a constricted dissipative section in communication with the tank, which may include an elongated internal channel, and a shaping tip in communication with the constricted dissipative section which can include an exit orifice. The (DOD) printer also includes a power source configured to supply one or more pulses of power to the ejector, which causes one or more drops of the printing material to be jetted out of the nozzle. The DOD printer may include a constricted dissipative section configured to obstruct fluid flow that is cylindrical or axisymmetric and having a diameter less than a diameter of the tank and less than a diameter of the shaping tip. The DOD printer may include a nozzle or an array of nozzles.
