I. Formation and rise of a bubble stream in a viscous liquid

The continuous emission of gas bubbles from a single ejection orifice immersed in a viscous fluid is considered. We first present a semi empirical model of spherical bubble growth under constant flow conditions to predict the bubble volume at the detachment stage. In a second part, we propose a physical model to describe the rise velocity of in-line interacting bubbles and we derive an expression for the net viscous force acting on the surrounding fluid. Experimental results for air/water-glycerol systems are presented for a wide range of fluid viscosity and compared with theoretical predictions. An imagery technique was used to determine the bubble size and rise velocity. The effects of fluid viscosity, gas flow rate, orifice diameter and liquid depth on the bubble stream dynamic were analyzed. We have further studied the effect of large scale recirculation flow and the influence of a neighbouring bubble stream on the bubble growth and rising velocity.

Dry microfoams: formation and flow in a confined channel

We present an experimental investigation of the agglomeration of microbubbles into a 2D microfoam and its flow in a rectangular microchannel. Using a flow-focusing method, we produce the foam in situ on a microfluidic chip for a large range of liquid fractions, down to a few percent in liquid. We can monitor the transition from separated bubbles to the desired microfoam, in which bubbles are closely packed and separated by thin films. We find that bubble formation frequency is limited by the liquid flow rate, whatever the gas pressure. The formation frequency creates a modulation of the foam flow, rapidly damped along the channel. The average foam flow rate depends non-linearly on the applied gas pressure, displaying a threshold pressure due to capillarity. Strong discontinuities in the flow rate appear when the number of bubbles in the channel width changes, reflecting the discrete nature of the foam topology. We also produce an ultra flat foam, reducing the channel height from 250 μm to 8 μm, resulting in a height to diameter ratio of 0.02; we notice a marked change in bubble shape during the flow.     

金属表面下氦泡融合与释放研究

采用分子动力学方法研究了钛金属表面下不同深度处氦泡的行为,分析了氦泡融合与释放的竞争,对比了不同深度处氦泡的释放对金属的影响.结果表明:在接近金属表面处,氦泡很难通过融合无限长大,当达到临界尺寸后,氦泡将会释放而不再与邻近的氦泡发生融合;植入深度对氦泡的融合有一定的影响,深度越大,越有利于形成具有较高氦密度的大氦泡;较深处氦泡的释放会在金属表面形成较大的突起和表面针孔.实验中观察到的不同尺寸的表面孔,其部分原因来自于金属表面下不同深度处氦泡的释放.     

Bubble boiling in droplets of water and lithium bromide water solution

The dynamics of growth and interaction of vapor bubbles in droplets of pure water and LiBr water solution on a horizontal wall were investigated in a wide superheating range. The growth rates of bubbles were determined both in a distillate droplet and in a salt solution droplet. The bubble growth rate in a pure water droplet at the final stage is somewhat lower than in pool boiling. The bubble growth rate in a salt solution is substantially lower than for pure water. Due to the bubble density maldistribution, the vapor flow density is appreciably higher at the droplet edges than on the droplet axis. Collective behavior of the bubbles possesses both stochastic character and elements of self-organization. The thermal measurements were carried out by means of high-speed video and blowup thermal imager.

An examination of the flow induced by the motion of many buoyant bubbles

The results of direct numerical simulations of the motion of many three-dimensional buoyant bubbles in periodic domains are examined. The bubble motion is computed by solving the full Navier-Stokes equations by a parallelized finite difference/front tracking method that allows a fully deformable interface between the bubbles and the ambient fluid and the inclusion of surface tension. The governing parameters are selected such that the average rise Reynolds number is about 25. Two cases are examined. In one, the bubbles are nearly spherical; in the other, the bubbles rise with an ellipsoidal shape. The ellipsoidal bubbles show a much larger fluctuation velocity and by visualizing the flow field it is possible to show that the difference is due to larger vorticity generation and stronger interactions of the deformable bubbles. The focus here is on the early stage of the flow, when both the spherical and the deformable bubbles are nearly uniformly distributed.     

Characterization of cavitation in a flow-through exposure chamber by means of a resonant bubble detector

Ultrasonic cavitation at frequencies of 0.514, 0.866, 1.03 and 1.61 MHz in water flowing through tubes was observed by counting bubbles downstream with a resonant bubble detector (RBD) operated at 0.89 or 1.7 MHz. In a 21 mm diameter, thin-walled tube, cavitation thresholds in tap water flowing at 5.3 cm s^?1 ranged from 2.0 – 2.5 bar at 0.514 MHz to 3 – 4 bar at 1.61 MHz. When high speed injections were employed to trigger the ultrasonic cavitation with hydrodynamically-generated bubbles, the thresholds were reduced to about 2 bar and bubble production was enhanced for 1.03 and 1.61 MHz exposures. Ultrasonic radiation forces on the bubbles and bubble coalescence appeared to cause, under some conditions, a reduction in bubble counts during subthreshold exposures when bubbles were injected into the flow. The RBD method is a useful tool for detecting and semi-quantitatively observing cavitation in a flow-through exposure system.
