Mechanisms and modeling of bubble dynamic behaviors and mass transfer under gravity: a review

S Yan, X Wang, L Zhu, X Zhang, Z Luo - Chemical Engineering Science, 2023 - Elsevier
Bubbly flow is a prototypical two-phase flow problem. The dynamic behavior of bubbles
within a reactor is intrinsically linked to their transport, distribution, and mass transfer, all of …

Direct numerical simulation of bubble-induced turbulence

A Innocenti, A Jaccod, S Popinet… - Journal of Fluid …, 2021 - cambridge.org
We report on an investigation of bubble-induced turbulence. Bubbles of a size larger than
the dissipative scale cannot be treated as pointwise inclusions, and generate important …

Direct numerical simulations of bubble-mediated gas transfer and dissolution in quiescent and turbulent flows
