Area of Science:

  • Fluid dynamics
  • Computational physics

Background:

  • Understanding bubble dynamics is crucial in various industrial and natural processes.
  • Previous studies often focused on simplified conditions or experimental approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To numerically simulate axisymmetric and steady bubble motion in water.
  • To investigate the influence of Reynolds numbers up to 600 on bubble behavior.
  • To model the effects of insoluble surfactants on bubble dynamics in contaminated water.

Main Methods:

  • Axisymmetric numerical simulations were employed.
  • The study considered a quiescent liquid medium disturbed only by bubble motion.
  • An insoluble surfactant model was incorporated to simulate contaminated water conditions.

Main Results:

  • Numerical results for clean interfaces were validated against Duineveld's experimental data.
  • The study presents calculations of wake volumes for different bubble conditions.
  • The behavior of bubbles in contaminated water was modeled using surfactant effects.

Conclusions:

  • Numerical simulations provide a robust method for studying bubble motion.
  • Surfactant presence significantly alters bubble dynamics compared to clean interfaces.
  • The findings contribute to a better understanding of multiphase flow phenomena.
