Transverse migration of single bubbles in simple shear flows

TL;DR: In this article, trajectories of single air bubbles in simple shear flows of glycerol-water solution were measured to evaluate transverse lift force acting on single bubbles, and the authors concluded that the critical bubble diameter causing the radial void profile transition from wall peaking to core peaking in an air-water bubbly flow evaluated by the proposed CT correlation coincided with available experimental data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drag Coefficients of Single Bubbles under Normal and Micro Gravity Conditions

TL;DR: In this article, a simple but reliable correlation for a drag coefficient, CD, of single bubbles under a wide range of fluid properties, bubble diameter and acceleration of gravity were developed based on a balance of forces acting on a bubble in a stagnant liquid and available empirical correlations of terminal rising velocities of single bubble.
Journal ArticleDOI

Terminal velocity of single bubbles in surface tension force dominant regime

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the primal cause of widely scattered VT in this regime is not surfactant concentration but initial shape deformation, and the primal role of surfactants is to cause damping of shape oscillation, by which a contaminated bubble behaves as if it were a clean bubble with low initial shape deformations.

Effects of cavitation in a nozzle on liquid jet atomization

TL;DR: Cavitation in two-dimensional (2D) nozzles and liquid jet in the vicinity of the nozzle exit were visualized using high-speed cameras to investigate the effects of cavitation on liquid jet under various conditions of Cavitation and Reynolds numbers σ and Re Liquid velocity in the nozzle was measured using a laser Doppler velocimetry.
