Quantifying the mechanical forces produced by fluid flows within the ocean is critical to understanding the ocean's environmental phenomena. Such forces may have been instrumental in the origin of life by driving a primitive form of self-replication through fragmentation. Among the intense sources of hydrodynamic shear encountered in the ocean are breaking waves and the bursting bubbles produce...

A dynamic Euler-Euler model for gas-liquid flows subject to mass transfer and simultaneous chemical reaction is assembled. The bubble size distribution is computed from an equation governing the evolution of average bubble mass. Highperformance finite element tools for numerical solution of the problem at hand are discussed. Computational results for the chemisorption of CO2 into NaOH shed some...

in this paper, size distribution of nano-bubbles was measured by the reliable and fast method of laserdiffraction technique. nano-bubbles were produced using a nano-bubble generator designed and madebased on hydrodynamic cavitation phenomenon in venturi tubes. a central composite design withresponse surface methodology was used to conduct a five factor, five level factorial experimental designo...

The derivation of effective equations for pressure wave propagation in a bubbly fluid at very low void fractions is examined. A Vlasov-type equation is derived for the probability distribution of the bubbles in phase space instead of computing effective equations in terms of averaged quantities. This provides a more general description of the bubble mixture and contains previously derived effec...
