Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book summarises the outcom of a priority research programme: 'Analysis, Modelling and Computation of Multiphase Flows'. The results of 24 individual research projects are presented. The main objective of the research programme was to provide a better understanding of the physical basis for multiphase gas-liquid flows as they are found in numerous chemical and biochemical reactors. The research comprises steady and unsteady multiphase flows in three frequently found reactor configurations, namely bubble columns without interiors, airlift loop reactors, and aerated stirred vessels. For this purpose new and improved measurement techniques were developed. From the resulting knowledge and data, new and refined models for describing the underlying physical processes were developed, which were used for the establishment and improvement of analytic as well as numerical methods for predicting multiphase reactors. Thereby, the development, lay-out and scale-up of such processes should be possible on a more reliable basis.

This book was released on 2011-03-10 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accurately predicting the behaviour of multiphase flows is a problem of immense industrial and scientific interest. Modern computers can now study the dynamics in great detail and these simulations yield unprecedented insight. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to direct numerical simulations of multiphase flows for researchers and graduate students. After a brief overview of the context and history the authors review the governing equations. A particular emphasis is placed on the 'one-fluid' formulation where a single set of equations is used to describe the entire flow field and interface terms are included as singularity distributions. Several applications are discussed, showing how direct numerical simulations have helped researchers advance both our understanding and our ability to make predictions. The final chapter gives an overview of recent studies of flows with relatively complex physics, such as mass transfer and chemical reactions, solidification and boiling, and includes extensive references to current work.

This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1. Objective and Scope Bubbles, drops and rigid particles occur everywhere in life, from valuable industrial operations like gas-liquid contracting, fluidized beds and extraction to such vital natural processes as fermentation, evaporation, and sedimentation. As we become increasingly aware of their fundamental role in industrial and biological systems, we are driven to know more about these fascinating particles. It is no surprise, therefore, that their practical and theoretical implications have aroused great interest among the scientific community and have inspired a growing number of studies and publications. Over the past ten years advances in the field of small Reynolds numbers flows and their technological and biological applications have given rise to several definitive monographs and textbooks in the area. In addition, the past three decades have witnessed enormous progress in describing quantitatively the behaviour of these particles. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are still no available books that reflect such achievements in the areas of bubble and drop deformation, hydrodynamic interactions of deformable fluid particles at low and moderate Reynolds numbers and hydrodynamic interactions of particles in oscillatory flows. Indeed, only one more book is dedicated entirely to the behaviour of bubbles, drops and rigid particles ["Bubbles, Drops and Particles" by Clift et al. (1978)] and the authors state its limitations clearly in the preface: "We treat only phenomena in which particle-particle interactions are of negligible importance. Hence, direct application of the book is limited to single-particle systems of dilute suspensions.

Download or read book Dynamics of the Breakup of an Underwater Air Bubble The Curvature Singularity and Water Fingers written by Lipeng Lai and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presence of slight azimuthal asymmetry in the initial shape of an underwater bubble entirely alters the final break-up dynamics. Vibrations in the cross-section shape of the bubble develop, grow relative to the average size of the bubble neck and bring about a coalescence mode of breakup in which distant regions along the air-water surface curve inwards and eventually collide with finite speed. Here we present boundary integral simulation results showing that these coalescence modes of breakups are interspersed with dynamics that give rise to sharp tips along the bubble surface. Our numerics show that when the initial condition is tuned towards some threshold value, the surface appears to evolve into a finite-time curvature singularity by developing sharp tips with infinite curvatures. However, starting with initial conditions at the threshold values, the surface evolution towards the curvature singularity is pre-empted by coalescence. We also show that the dynamics around the curvature singularity corresponds to a saddle-node evolution. In other words, an evolution towards a cross-section shape with sharp tips invariably later evolves away from it. The maximum curvature attained when the interface evolves towards the curvature singularity increases as the amplitude of the initial perturbation decreases. Taken together, the results suggest that the curvature singularity appears to be attained only in the limit that the initial perturbation amplitude approaches 0. For a phase space trajectory close to the curvature singularity, as the singularity is approached, the curvature of the sharp tip diverges approximately as (R-R c)-0.8, where R describes the average size of the horizontal cross-section of the bubble neck minimum and Rc corresponds to the onset of the singularity, and the velocity of the tip diverges approximately as (R-Rc) -0.4. In practice, these divergences imply that viscous drag and compressibility of the gas flow, two effects not included in our analysis, become significant as the interface evolves towards the curvature singularity.

Download or read book Effect of Surface Active Materials on Bubble Dynamics in Two Phase Flow written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our goal in this research is to relate bubble performance in processes such as bubble breaking, dissolution, coalescence and breakup to bubble interfacial character, including surface tension, surface charge and surface rheological properties. This fiscal year we have studied bubble dissolution rates in clean fresh water and in sea water samples representing a wide range of biological activities. Previous measurements of bubble dissolution have used water that was equilibrated with a known atmosphere a process that takes many hours and results in alteration of chemical and biological properties. We have used a novel gas tension method to determine 02 and N2 partial pressures in the water phase. Our results indicate that mass transfer rates for dissolution in fresh water coincide with theoretical predictions, but those for sea water are always significantly less and especially at low Reynolds Numbers. Bubble coalescence and breaking of bubbles at the air-water interface were observed in fresh water and sea water samples. Both process were observed to produce satellite bubbles. For example, millimeter-size bubbles breaking at the air-water interface each produced 20 or more bubbles of greater than 30 microns in diameter ... Bubble; Bubble Coalescence; Bubble Mass Transfer.

Download or read book Normally Hyperbolic Invariant Manifolds in Dynamical Systems written by Stephen Wiggins and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past ten years, there has been much progress in understanding the global dynamics of systems with several degrees-of-freedom. An important tool in these studies has been the theory of normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds and foliations of normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds. In recent years these techniques have been used for the development of global perturbation methods, the study of resonance phenomena in coupled oscillators, geometric singular perturbation theory, and the study of bursting phenomena in biological oscillators. "Invariant manifold theorems" have become standard tools for applied mathematicians, physicists, engineers, and virtually anyone working on nonlinear problems from a geometric viewpoint. In this book, the author gives a self-contained development of these ideas as well as proofs of the main theorems along the lines of the seminal works of Fenichel. In general, the Fenichel theory is very valuable for many applications, but it is not easy for people to get into from existing literature. This book provides an excellent avenue to that. Wiggins also describes a variety of settings where these techniques can be used in applications.
