Bubble entrainment by the impact of drops on liquid surfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
The impact of a drop on the plane surface of the same liquid is studied numerically. The accuracy of the calculation is substantiated by its good agreement with available experimental data. An attempt is made to explain the recent observation that, in a restricted range of drop radii and impact velocities, small air bubbles remain entrained in the liquid. The implications of this process for the underwater sound due to rain are considered. The numerical approach consists of a new formulation of the boundary-element method which is explained in detail. Techniques to stabilize the calculation in the presence of strong surface-tension effects are also described.

Collision of Two Liquid Wedges
1. INTRODUCTION Splashing following the collisions of liquids or granular materials is often observed in a variety of natural and engineering problems, such as plunging or breaking water waves, liquid droplets impacting on a free surface or a thin film of the same liquid, etc. Splashing leads to fluid fragmentation and the generation of drops and spray as well as fluid aeration. These phenomena...
متن کاملEffect of Bubble/Droplet Morphology and Slippage on Attachment Induction Time in Deoiling Flotation Process
A modified model has been analytically developed to describe the induction time of an elliptic air bubble in contact with an elliptic hydrophobic oil droplet. The role of hydrophobicity was revealed in the slippage of liquid over the surfaces of bubble and droplet. In this condition, the analytical relationships for pressure distribution and consequently hydrodynamic resistance force through th...

Flotation process in mechanical cells is carried out in highly turbulent conditions. In this work, the impact of impeller speed on four characteristics of the quiescent zone, i.e. zone height, turbulence, solid percentage, and gas holdup, and their relationship with the entrainment is investigated, and it is shown why at a higher impeller speed, entrainment is not significant. The height of the...

A t the impact of a plunging liquid jet with a receiving pool, air bubbles may be entrained if the impact velocity exceeds a critical velocity. New experiments were performed in a two-dimensional plunging jet. The ̄ ow conditions near the inception of air entrainment were investigated. Two mechanisms of air entrainment were visualized at low jet velocities: by elongated air cavity and by foam bu...

Energy dissipation in drops has been investigated by physical models. After determination of effective parameters on the phenomenon, three drops with different heights have been constructed from Plexiglas. They have been installed in two existing flumes in the hydraulic laboratory. Several runs of physical models have been undertaken to measured required parameters for determination of the ener...
