Drag coefficient and relative velocity in bubbly, droplet or particulate flows

TL;DR: In this article, the relative motion correlations for dispersed two-phase flows of bubbles, drops, and particles were developed from simple similarity criteria and a mixture viscosity model, and satisfactory agreements were obtained at wide ranges of the particle concentration and Reynolds number.

Bubble coalescence and break‐up in air‐sparged bubble columns

TL;DR: In this article, a Phenomenological model for the rates of bubble coalescence and bubble break-up in turbulent gas-liquid dispersions is proposed, based on the mixing of tracer gases within bubbles upon coalescence, in conjunction with Monte-Carlo simulations of coalescence events.

Theoretical model for drop and bubble breakup in turbulent dispersions

TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical model for the prediction of drop and bubble (fluid-particle) breakup rates in turbulent dispersions was developed, based on the theories of isotropic turbulence and probability and contains no unknown or adjustable parameters.
