Ellipsoidal model of the rise of a Taylor bubble in a round tube
نویسندگان
چکیده
The rise velocity of long gas bubbles (Taylor bubbles) in round tubes is modeled by an ovary ellipsoidal cap bubble rising in an irrotational flow of a viscous liquid. The analysis leads to an expression for the rise velocity which depends on the aspect ratio of the model ellipsoid and the Reynolds and Eötvös numbers. The aspect ratio of the best ellipsoid is selected to give the same rise velocity as the Taylor bubble at given values of the Eötvös and Reynolds numbers. The analysis leads to a prediction of the shape of the ovary ellipsoid which rises with same velocity as the Taylor bubble.

Numerical Analysis of Water and Air in Venturi Tube to Produce Micro-Bubbles
Two-phase flow regimes are affected by conduit position, alignment, geometry, flow direction, physical characteristics, and flow rate of each phase as well as the heat flux toward the boundaries. Due to the importance of two-phase flow, numerous regimes have been identified. The first step in studying micro-bubble formation inside a venturi tube is to recognize the type of flow regimes. In this...

متن کاملA hybrid approach based on numerical, statistical and intelligent techniques for optimization of tube drawing process to produced squared section from round tube
In the tube drawing process, there are a bunch of parameters which play key role in process performance. Thus, finding the optimized parameters is a controversial issue. Current study aimed to produce a squared section of round tube by tube sinking process. To simulate the process finite element method (FEM) was used. Then, to find a meaningful kinship between process input and output parameter...

Moving single bubble sonoluminescence has been discovered after searches to find the fluids other than water for observing SBSL. The main property of these fluids is their more viscosity rather than water. In this paper, after introducing the forces which act on sonoluminescing bubble, the moving of the bubble have been simulated. For this purpose, the bubble’s equation of motion is coupled w...
