Direct numerical simulation of turbulent flows laden with droplets or bubbles

S Elghobashi - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2019 - annualreviews.org
This review focuses on direct numerical simulations (DNS) of turbulent flows laden with
droplets or bubbles. DNS of these flows are more challenging than those of flows laden with …

Friction drag reduction of external flows with bubble and gas injection

SL Ceccio - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2010 - annualreviews.org
The lubrication of external liquid flow with a bubbly mixture or gas layer has been the goal of
engineers for many years, and this article presents the underlying principles and recent …

Bubbly and buoyant particle–laden turbulent flows

V Mathai, D Lohse, C Sun - Annual Review of Condensed Matter …, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Fluid turbulence is commonly associated with stronger drag, greater heat transfer, and more
efficient mixing than in laminar flows. In many natural and industrial settings, turbulent liquid …

Bubble puzzles: from fundamentals to applications

D Lohse - Physical review fluids, 2018 - APS
For centuries, bubbles have fascinated artists, engineers, and scientists alike. In spite of
century-long research on them, new and often surprising bubble phenomena, features, and …

Frictional drag reduction by bubble injection

Y Murai - Experiments in fluids, 2014 - Springer
The injection of gas bubbles into a turbulent boundary layer of a liquid phase has multiple
different impacts on the original flow structure. Frictional drag reduction is a phenomenon …

Surfactant effects on bubble motion and bubbly flows

S Takagi, Y Matsumoto - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2011 - annualreviews.org
Small amounts of surfactant can drastically change bubble behavior. For example, a bubble
in aqueous surfactant solution rises much slower than one in purified water. This …

Direct numerical simulation of spatially developing turbulent boundary layers with uniform blowing or suction

Y Kametani, K Fukagata - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2011 - cambridge.org
Direct numerical simulation (DNS) of spatially developing turbulent boundary layer with
uniform blowing (UB) or uniform suction (US) is performed aiming at skin friction drag …

Sedimentation of finite-size spheres in quiescent and turbulent environments

W Fornari, F Picano, L Brandt - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2016 - cambridge.org
Sedimentation of a dispersed solid phase is widely encountered in applications and
environmental flows, yet little is known about the behaviour of finite-size particles in …

The importance of bubble deformability for strong drag reduction in bubbly turbulent Taylor–Couette flow

DPM van Gils, DN Guzman, C Sun… - Journal of fluid …, 2013 - cambridge.org
Bubbly turbulent Taylor–Couette (TC) flow is globally and locally studied at Reynolds

Vortex ring and bubble interaction: Effects of bubble size on vorticity dynamics and bubble dynamics

S Biswas, RN Govardhan - Physics of Fluids, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
Bubbly turbulent flows involve complex interactions between bubbles and vortices, in which
their size ratio plays a critical role. The present work investigates an idealization, namely, the …
