چکیده

We present a study on the behavior of air bubbles captured in a Taylor vortex formed in the annulus between two concentric cylinders. It is found that small bubbles stay either at certain locations near the vortex cores or in the outflow regions along the inner cylinder. If bubbles of the same size are introduced, a variety of bubble structures (such as ring, chain, cluster, etc.) appear due to different mechanisms. For bubbles of nonuniform size, orbit crossing of small and large bubbles is observed. Droplets and particles can also be captured in Taylor vortices, and these exhibit certain unique features.

Microbubbly drag reduction in Taylor-Couette flow in the wavy vortex regime

We investigate the effect of microbubbles on Taylor-Couette flow by means of direct numerical simulations. We employ an Eulerian-Lagrangian approach with a gas-fluid coupling based on the point-force approximation. Added mass, drag, lift, and gravity are taken into account in the modeling of the motion of the individual bubble. We find that very dilute suspensions of small non-deformable bubble...

Rise velocity of a spherical cap bubble By DANIEL

where R = D/2 is the radius of the cap, ρ and ν are the density and kinematic viscosity of the liquid, σ is surface tension, r(θ) = R(1 + sθ) and s = r ′′(0)/D is the deviation of the free surface from perfect sphericity r(θ) = R near the stagnation point θ = 0. The bubble nose is more pointed when s < 0 and blunted when s > 0. A more pointed bubble increases the rise velocity; the blunter bubb...

Vortex simulations of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability

~ vortex t~chnique capable of calculating the Rayleigh-Taylor instability to large amplitudes in inviscid, mcompresstble, layered flows is introduced. The results show the formation of a steady-state bubble at large times, whose velocity is in agreement with the theory of BirkhotT and Carter. It is shown that the spike acceleration can exceed free fall, as suggested recently by MenikotT and Zem...

Flow Control of Flat Plate Using Plasma Actuators

The flow control on the separation bubble and the large scale vortex is important in the turbo machine. Recently, a new approach using the plasma actuators is proposed to control the separation bubble and the large scale vortex. The aim of this study is to control the large scale vortex behind a flat plate using the plasma actuators. The effect of the three dimensional jet induced by the plasma...

Eulerian simulation of bubble columns reactors and effect of various parameters on the gas holdup

Gas holdup and bubble size are important parameters for simulation and designing in bubble column reactors. Because based on these parameters, the available gas-liquid interfacial area is defined for mass transfer. In this paper, the results of applying magnetic fields on the velocity field and volume fraction of gas holdup are reported. Hydrodynamics of the bubble column in the reactors is inv...
