Bubble coalescence in electrolytes: effect of bubble approach velocity

S Orvalho, P Stanovsky, MC Ruzicka - Chemical Engineering Journal, 2021 - Elsevier
The coalescence of air bubbles in aqueous solutions of electrolytes was studied
experimentally. The bubbles were produced from two vertical parallel capillaries in a still …

Thermodynamic nonequilibrium effects in bubble coalescence: A discrete Boltzmann study

G Sun, Y Gan, A Xu, Y Zhang, Q Shi - Physical Review E, 2022 - APS
The thermodynamic nonequilibrium (TNE) effects in a coalescence process of two initially
static bubbles under thermal conditions are investigated by a discrete Boltzmann model. The …

Mixing characteristics and energy conversion in the coalescence process of the two droplets

X Luo, K Xu, W Li, X Huang, L He - Chemical Engineering Science, 2022 - Elsevier
In the case of fluid flow with a low Reynolds number, the internal fluid stratification can be
easily observed after droplet coalescence, impeding rapid mixing of fluid. In this study, the …

[HTML][HTML] A new criterion of coalescence-induced microbubble detachment in three-dimensional microfluidic channel

R Chen, S Zhou, L Zhu, L Zhu, W Yan, H Yu - Physics of Fluids, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
This work is motivated by an experiment of microbubble transport in a polymer microfluidic
gas generation device where coalescence-induced detachment exhibits. We numerically …

Coalescence preference in surfactant-laden bubbles of equal size

S Ubal, J Lu, R Grifoni, F Bozzoli… - Chemical Engineering …, 2022 - Elsevier
Coalescence preference is the tendency of a bubble merged from two parent bubbles to be
placed closer to one of the parents. Coalescence preference has been extensively studied …

General power-law temporal scaling for unequal-size microbubble coalescence

R Chen, H Yu, J Zeng, L Zhu - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
We systematically study the effects of liquid viscosity, liquid density, and surface tension on
global microbubble coalescence using lattice Boltzmann simulation. The liquid-gas system …

An improved method to visualize two regions of interest synchronously in microfluidics

J Zhang, L Lei, F Liang, H Li, B Sundén, Z Wu - Flow Measurement and …, 2020 - Elsevier
Multiphase flow in mini/micro channels has been widely studied for its potential in many
industrial applications. The normal experimental method cannot capture two separate …
