چکیده
This paper presents a 3D numerical study of the bubble generation process in a T-junction, performed with the commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics solver ANSYS Fluent v15.0.7. Numerical results on bubble generation frequency, bubble velocity, volume void fraction, bubble volume, and characteristics bubble lengths are compared with experimental data. Additionally, a new simple tting for the bubble generation frequency, based upon previously reported experimental works, is proposed here.
