The results of numerical investigation of the motion of a single droplet in a twisted flow of immiscible viscous liquid are presented. The motion trajectories of a droplet depending on its size, angular velocity of liquid rotation, and the physical parameters of the liquid and droplet have been determined. The values of the Reynolds, Bond, and Weber numbers along the droplet trajectory have been calculated. The effect of the Coriolis forces on the trajectory, velocity, and acceleration of the droplet in flow have been analyzed. The effect of the acceleration components of the droplet on the parameters of its motion is estimated. The numerical results are compared with experimental data.
