摘要: The dynamics of a Taylor bubble rising in stagnant liquids is numerically investigated using front tracking coupled with finite difference method. Parametric studies on the including final shape, Reynolds number (Re T ), Weber (We Froude (Fr), thin liquid film thickness (w/D), and wake length (l w /D) are carried out. effects density ratio (η), viscosity (λ), Eotvos (Eo), Archimedes (Ar) examined. simulations demonstrate that under consideration have minimal effect bubble. influence elongation tail structures, where higher Eo Ar result longer wake. To explain sudden extension tail, l ) based local curvature velocity evaluated critical We detected around unity. onset flow separation at occurs between Ar=2 × 10 3 Ar=1 4 , which corresponds to Re 13.39 32.55. also drastically affects shape bubble, terminal velocity, film, as well wall shear stress. It found w/D =0.32 -0.1 .
