In this paper, a simulation model is proposed for the breakup process of drops and the distribution of resultant daughter drops in an agitated tank, in order to account for the effect of liquid turbulence around drops.Abstract:
A simulation model is proposed for the breakup process of drops and the distribution of resultant daughter drops in an agitated tank, in order to account for the effect of liquid turbulence around drops. The variation of drop size distribution with time after the start of agitation was measured and compared with that predicted by the proposed model. This model is found to be capable of predicting the breakup process.read more

TL;DR: A literature review on mechanisms and models for the breakage of bubbles and drops (fluid particles) in turbulent dispersions is presented in this paper, where four categories are summarized, namely, turbulence fluctuation, viscous shear stress, shearing off process and interfacial instability.

Liquid Jet Instability and Atomization in a Coaxial Gas Stream
TL;DR: In this article, an overview of the near and far-field breakup and atomization of a liquid jet by a high speed annular gas jet is presented, and various regimes of liquid jet breakup are discussed in the parameter space of the liquid Reynolds number, the aerodynamic Weber number, and the ratio of the momentum fluxes between the gas and the liquid streams.

A review of statistical models for the break-up of an immiscible fluid immersed into a fully developed turbulent flow
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the statistical description of the break-up of an immiscible fluid lump immersed into a fully developed turbulent flow and focus on systems where there is no relative velocity between the continuous and dispersed phases.

On the breakup of an air bubble injected into a fully developed turbulent flow. Part 2. Size PDF of the resulting daughter bubbles
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a statistical model to describe the bubble size probability density function of the daughter bubbles resulting from the shattering of a mother bubble of size D0 immersed in a fully developed turbulent water flow.
