Numerical analysis of gas bubbles in close proximity to a movable or deformable body

The growth and collapse of gaseous bubbles near a movable or deformable body are investigated numerically using the boundary element method and fluid–solid coupling technique. The fluid is treated as inviscid, incompressible and the flow irrotational. The unsteady Bernoulli equation is applied on the bubble surface as one of the boundary conditions of the Laplace’s equation for the potential. Good agreements between the numerical and experimental results demonstrate the robustness and accuracy of the present method. The translation and rotation of the rigid body due to the bubble evolution are captured by solving the six-degrees-of-freedom equations of motion for the rigid body. The fluid–solid coupling is achieved by matching the normal component of the velocity and the pressure at the fluid–solid interface. Compared to a fixed rigid body, the expansion of the bubble is not affected too much but much faster collapsing velocities during the collapsing phase of bubble can be observed when considering the motion of the rigid body. The rigid body is pushed away as the bubble grows and moved toward the bubble as the bubble collapses. The motion of two bubbles near a movable cylinder is also simulated. The large rotation of the cylinder and obvious deformation and distortion for the bubble in close proximity to a curved wall are observed in our codes. Finally, the growth and collapse of bubble near a deformable ellipsoid shell are also simulated using the combination of boundary element method (BEM) and finite element method (FEM) techniques. The oscillations of the ellipsoid shell can be observed during the growth and collapse of bubble, which much differs from the results obtained by only considering effects of a rigidly movable body on the bubble evolution.     

Strong interaction between a buoyancy bubble and a free surface

The growth and collapse of buoyant vapor bubbles close to a free surface in an inviscid incompressible fluid is investigated in this paper. The strong interaction between the deforming bubble and the free surface is simulated numerically by a boundary-integral method (Taib 1985; Blake et al., 1987). Improvements are made in the calculation of the singular integrals, the use of nonuniform boundary elements, and the choice of time-step size. The present numerical results agree better with the experimental observations of Blake and Gibson (1981) than previous numerical predictions for bubbles initiated at one maximum radius from the free surface. There is also concurrence of flow features with the experiments for a bubble initiated as close as half maximum radius from the free surface, where other numerical efforts have failed. The effects of buoyancy on bubbles initiated close to a free surface are also investigated. Vastly different features, depending on the distance of the bubble to the free surface and the buoyancy-force parameter, have been observed.

Numerical simulation of trajectory and deformation of bubble in tip vortex

According to the behaviors of a bubble in the ship wake flow,the numerical simulation is divided into two stages,quasi-spherical motion and non-spherical motion,based on whether the bubble is captured by the vortex or not.The one-way coupled particle tracking method(PTM) and the boundary element method(BEM) are adopted to simulate these two stages,respectively.Meanwhile,the initial condition of the second stage is taken as the output of the first one,and the entire simulation is connected and completed.Based on the numerical results and the published experimental data,the cavitation inception is studied,and the wake bubble is tracked.Besides,the split of the bubble captured by the vortex and the following sub-bubbles are simulated,including motion,deformation,and collapse.The results provide some insights into the control on wake bubbles and optimization of the wake flow.     

Shock structure in bubbly liquids: comparison of direct numerical simulations and model equations

Shock wave structure in a bubbly mixture composed of a cluster of gas bubbles in a quiescent liquid with initial void fractions around 10% inside a 3D rectangular domain excited by a sudden increase in the pressure at one boundary is investigated using the front tracking/finite volume method. The effects of bubble/bubble interactions and bubble deformations are, therefore, investigated for further modeling. The liquid is taken to be incompressible while the bubbles are assumed to be compressible. The gas pressure inside the bubbles is taken uniform and is assumed to vary isothermally. Results obtained for the pressure distribution at different locations along the direction of propagation show the characteristics of one-dimensional unsteady shock propagation evolving towards steady-state. The steady-state shock structures obtained by the present direct numerical simulations, which show a transition from A-type to C-type steady-state shock structures, are compared with those obtained by the classical Rayleigh–Plesset equation and by a modified Rayleigh–Plesset equation accounting for bubble/bubble interactions in the mean-field theory.      

Numerical simulation of a single bubble by compressible two‐phase fluids

The present work deals with the numerical investigation of a collapsing bubble in a liquid–gas fluid, which is modeled as a single compressible medium. The medium is characterized by the stiffened gas law using different material parameters for the two phases. For the discretization of the stiffened gas model, the approach of Saurel and Abgrall is employed where the flow equations, here the Euler equations, for the conserved quantities are approximated by a finite volume scheme, and an upwind discretization is used for the non‐conservative transport equations of the pressure law coefficients. The original first‐order discretization is extended to higher order applying second‐order ENO reconstruction to the primitive variables. The derivation of the non‐conservative upwind discretization for the phase indicator, here the gas fraction, is presented for arbitrary unstructured grids. The efficiency of the numerical scheme is significantly improved by employing local grid adaptation. For this purpose, multiscale‐based grid adaptation is used in combination with a multilevel time stepping strategy to avoid small time steps for coarse cells. The resulting numerical scheme is then applied to the numerical investigation of the 2‐D axisymmetric collapse of a gas bubble in a free flow field and near to a rigid wall. The numerical investigation predicts physical features such as bubble collapse, bubble splitting and the formation of a liquid jet that can be observed in experiments with laser‐induced cavitation bubbles. Opposite to the experiments, the computations reveal insight to the state inside the bubble clearly indicating that these features are caused by the acceleration of the gas due to shock wave focusing and reflection as well as wave interaction processes. While incompressible models have been used to provide useful predictions on the change of the bubble shape of a collapsing bubble near a solid boundary, we wish to study the effects of shock wave emissions into the ambient liquid on the bubble collapse, a phenomenon that may not be captured using an incompressible fluid model.

Formation of bubbles at submerged orifices - Experimental investigation and theoretical prediction

The present work reports an experimental investigation on bubble release through submerged orifices. Bubble frequency has been measured as a function of gas flow rate for three different orifice sizes at various pool heights. Needle type conductivity probe has been used for bubble count. Analysis of probe signal not only gives the bubble frequency but also indicates a transition from bubbling to jetting regime. Further, to validate the experimental observations a simple mechanistic model has been developed considering the evolution of non-spherical bubbles at the orifice mouth. Reasonable agreement between the model prediction and the experimental result has been observed.
