Bubbly Two-Phase Flow: Part II- Characteristics and Parameters
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: Bubble flow has received considerable attention in the last four decades and becomes a very important topic of research recently due to its large and wide range of applications value, and its effect on many processes and the efficiency of many devices. The motivation for studying bubble plumes is evident, from the fact that these plumes are encountered in a variety of engineering problems. In the past 10 years, the range of its application prompted scholars to do experiments and numerical research about this phenomenon. The motivation of the present work (part-II that is extended to part-I) is the dement to demonstrate, review and summarize the major finding of the previous research of the following points: 1) The techniques and the important models for the measurement of the dominated two-phase bubbly flow/ bubble plume parameters such as gas flow rate bubble size, bubble velocity and void fraction which are considerably important and play an important role in operational safety, process control and reliability of continuum processes of many engineering applications. 2) Turbulent bubbly flow structure. 3) Some important applications especially on bubbly two-phase flow/bubble plume and its associated surface flow since it can contribute to improvements in various directions. The techniques of gas injection have been widely utilized in many engineering fields. The surface flows generated by bubble plumes are considered key phenomena in many kinds of processes in modern industries. It is utilized as an effective ways to control surface floating substances on lakes, oceans, as well as in various kinds of reactors and industrial processes handling a free surface.
