Ca = (mu * Q) / (gamma * w * h) where mu is the hydrodynamic resistance of the fluid, Q is the flow rate, gamma is the interfacial tension between the continuous and dispersed fluids, and w, h are the width and height of the channel

Droplet resistance currently uses a hard-coded capillary number, so we can do better.

Droplet resistance should use the capillary number of the continuous phase.
