This paper presents a literature review on mechanisms and models for the breakage of
bubbles and drops (fluid particles) in turbulent dispersions. For the mechanisms, four …

The coalescence phenomenon of drops in liquid/liquid systems is reviewed with particular
focus on its technical relevance and application. Due to the complexity of coalescence, a …

This book is based on lectures regularly taught in the fourth and fifth year graduate courses
in transport phenomena and chemical reactor modeling, and in a postgraduate course in …

Bubble columns are widely used for carrying out gas− liquid and gas− liquid− solid reactions
in a variety of industrial applications. The dispersion and interfacial heat-and mass-transfer …

Dynamics of bubble and drop breakup in turbulent flows have been studied in detail, using a
high‐speed CCD camera. Analysis of breakup times, deformations, deformation velocities …

An evaluation of several breakage rates from the literature based on single drop
experiments was carried out. This data was collected in a single drop breakage cell under …

The mechanisms and modeling concepts proposed in the literature for the fluid particle (ie,
bubble and drops) breakage phenomena in laminar and turbulent dispersions are …

In this work, we compute numerically breakage/coalescence rates and size distribution of
surfactant-laden droplets in turbulent flow. We use direct numerical simulation of turbulence …

The breakup of air bubbles in a turbulent water flow is studied experimentally. Water flows
from a nozzle array, generating intense turbulence, and then flows downward through a cell …

The breakup of immiscible fluid particles in a prototypical turbulent flow has been
investigated. Dispersed fluids of varying density, viscosity and interfacial tension with water …
