A new measuring technique dedicated to bubble velocity and size measurements in complex bubbly flows such as those occurring in bubble columns is proposed. This sensor combines the phase detection capability of a conical optical fiber, with velocity measurements from the Doppler signal induced by an interface approaching the extremity of a single-mode fiber. The analysis of the probe functioning and of its response in controlled situations, have shown that the Doppler probe provides the translation velocity of bubbles projected along the probe axis. A reliable signal processing routine has been developed that exploits the Doppler signal arising at the gas-to-liquid transition: the resulting uncertainty on velocity is at most 14%. Such a Doppler probe provides statistics on velocity and on size of gas inclusions, as well as local variables including void fraction, gas volumetric flux, number density and its flux. That sensor has been successfully exploited in an air-tap water bubble column 0.4m in diameter for global gas hold-up from 2.5 to 30%. In the heterogeneous regime, the transverse profiles of the mean bubble velocity scaled by the value on the axis happen to be self-similar in the quasi fully developed region of the column. A fit is proposed for these profiles. In addition, on the axis, the standard deviation of bubble velocity scaled by the mean velocity increases with Vsg in the homogeneous regime, and it remains stable, close to 0.55, in the heterogeneous regime.

In the present study, simulations are directed to capture the dynamics of evacuating inner gas of a bubble bursting at the free surface, using Eulerian based volume of fluid (VOF) method. The rate by which surrounding air rushing inside the bubble ca vity through the inner gas evacuation is estimated and compared by the collapsing bubble cavity during the sequential stages of the bubble bursting at the free surface. Further, the reachability of inner gas over the free surface is evaluated by establishing the comparison of the same through various horizontal planes, lying at different altitudes above the unperturbed surface. The evacuating inner gas accompanies vortex rings, which entrains the surrounding gas-phase. During the successive stages of air entrainment, spatiotemporal characteristics of the vortex ring are obtained. At low Bond numbers (< 1), after comparing the phase contours of evacuating inner gas from the bubble cavity, the consequences at the axial growth of gas jet and the radial expansion of the jet tip is discussed separately. Furthermore, under the respiration process, the axial growth of rising inner gas over the free surface and the radial expansion of vortex rings of a bubble bursting at the free surface is compared with the quiescent surrounding air. At last, the effects of various possible asymmetric perforation of the bubble cap keeping the same Bo are studied. The cause of bent gas jet, as a consequence of perforation of the bubble cap, asymmetrically, is explained by plotting the velocity vectors.
The formation of a single bubble from an orifice in a solid surface, submerged in an in- compressible, viscous Newtonian liquid, is simulated. The finite element method is used to capture the multiscale physics associated with the problem and to trac k the evolution of the free surface explicitly. The results are compared to a recent experimental analysis and then used to obtain the global characteristics of the process, the formation time and volume of the bubble, for a range of orifice radii; Ohnesorge numbers, which combine the material parameters of the liquid; and volumetric gas flow rates. These benchmark calculations, for the parameter space of interest, are then utilised to validate a selection of scaling laws found in the literature for two regimes of bubble formation, the regimes of low and high gas flow rates.
Laminar flow over a bubble mattress is expected to experience a significant reduction in friction since the individual surfaces of the bubbles are shear-free. However, if the bubbles are sufficiently curved, their protrusion into the fluid and along the flow direction can lead to an increase in friction as was recently demonstrated experimentally and computationally. We provide in this paper a simple model for this result. We consider a shear flow at low Reynolds number past a two-dimensional array of bubbles, and calculate analytically the effective slip length of the surface as function of the bubble geometry in the dilute limit. Our model is able to reproduce quantitatively the relationship between effective friction and bubble geometry obtained in numerical computations, and in particular: (a) The asymmetry in friction between convex and concave bubbles, and (b) the existence of a geometric transition from reduced to enhanced friction at a critical bubble protrusion angle.
We numerically investigate the effect of non-condensable gas inside a vapor bubble on bubble dynamics, collapse pressure and pressure impact of spherical and aspherical bubble collapses. Free gas inside a vapor bubble has a damping effect that can we aken the pressure wave and enhance the bubble rebound. To estimate this effect numerically, we derive and validate a multi-component model for vapor bubbles containing gas. For the cavitating liquid and the non-condensable gas, we employ a homogeneous mixture model with a coupled equation of state for all components. The cavitation model for the cavitating liquid is a barotropic thermodynamic equilibrium model. Compressibility of all phases is considered in order to capture the shock wave of the bubble collapse. After validating the model with an analytical energy partitioning model, simulations of collapsing wall-attached bubbles with different stand-off distances are performed. The effect of the non-condensable gas on rebound and damping of the emitted shock wave is well captured.
We describe a recently realized experiment producing the most spherical cavitation bubbles today. The bubbles grow inside a liquid from a point-plasma generated by a nanosecond laser pulse. Unlike in previous studies, the laser is focussed by a parab olic mirror, resulting in a plasma of unprecedented symmetry. The ensuing bubbles are sufficiently spherical that the hydrostatic pressure gradient caused by gravity becomes the dominant source of asymmetry in the collapse and rebound of the cavitation bubbles. To avoid this natural source of asymmetry, the whole experiment is therefore performed in microgravity conditions (ESA, 53rd and 56th parabolic flight campaign). Cavitation bubbles were observed in microgravity (~0g), where their collapse and rebound remain spherical, and in normal gravity (1g) to hyper-gravity (1.8g), where a gravity-driven jet appears. Here, we describe the experimental setup and technical results, and overview the science data. A selection of high-quality shadowgraphy movies and time-resolved pressure data is published online.
