The purpose of this work was the study of the formation process of Newtonian drop in a continuous non-Newtonian fluid. This process was numerically studied by entering liquid into a submerged orifice in a cylindrical vessel. The simulations were carried out using SOLA-VOF method. In this code, the complete motion equations were predicted two dimensions and using finite difference method. In addition, power law model was used to simulate a non-Newtonian fluid. In this research, the effects of orifice diameter and Newtonian fluid flow rate were studied on the formation of the drop, size and its formation time.
