Investigation of Bubble Dynamics in Pure Liquids and Aqueous Surfactant/Polymer Solutions Under Adiabatic and Diabatic Conditions Investigation of bubble Dynamics in Pure Liquids and Aqueous Surfactant/Polymer Solutions under Adiabatic and Diabatic Conditions A Dissertation submitted to the Division of Graduate Studies and Research of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTORATE OF PHILOSOPHY (Ph.D.) in the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering of the College of Engineering and Applied Science March 2018 by Deepak Saagar Kalaikadal B.E., Anna University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India M.S., University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Committee Chair: Dr. Raj M. Manglik Committee Co-Chair: Dr. Milind A. Jog ABSTRACT The goal of this work is to gain a better understanding of the complex physics governing the growth of bubbles from orifices and cavities submerged in liquid pools of pure liquids, and aqueous solutions of surfactants and polymers through a combination of experimental, computational, and theoretical approaches. The final phase of the bubble cycle - necking and pinch-off - was investigated initially. The growth, extension, and eventual shearing of the neck is governed by a balance of buoyancy, viscous shear, and surface tension forces over four distinct stages. Understanding the nature of these forces and subsequent scaling of the same yielded a correlation capable of predicting the length of the neck at pinch-off, providing a closure criterion to a single cycle of bubble growth. Following this, the influence of the orifice/cavity size - one of the primary governing process parameters in all bubble-based applications – was studied. The positive effect of the orifice diameter on the departure bubble diameters is seen to progressively decrease with the orifice size, until a critical size, beyond which the departing bubbles are smaller than the orifice. Within the constant bubble volume region, the growth and departure of bubbles is completely governed by a balance between the capillary forces and the buoyancy forces. The resulting force balance leads to a simple correlation to predict the bubble departure size from an orifice of any size, restricted to the constant bubble volume regime. The influence of surface tension on bubble growth was further investigated in both pure liquids and aqueous surfactant solutions. Comparative studies were undertaken to investigate the effect of time-dependent surface tension relaxation in surfactant solutions as opposed to ebullience in pure liquids with the same equilibrium surface tensions. The bubble regime map in aqueous i surfactant solutions exhibited a characteristic ‘s’ shaped curve, mimicking the relaxation curve of the surfactant itself. Due to this, the slopes of the relaxation curves were found to be excellent parameters for predicting the corresponding bubble growth curves. This was followed by a computational study of thermo-capillary convection driven by the temperature and surface tension gradients at the gas-liquid interface of a bubble subjected to a stratified thermal field. This is one of the many manifestation of the surface tension forces influencing bubble growth and heat transfer in nucleate pool boiling. The effect of liquid properties, wettability, bubble size, channel depth, and temperature gradients on the strength of the thermo-capillary currents and the associated heat transfer enhancement at the bubble interface was studied. It was established that the Marangoni number, by itself, cannot capture the complexities of the transient capillary flow. The growth of bubbles in stratified temperature fields was also investigated. It was found that the effect of thermo-capillary convection on the size of bubbles growing in positive temperature gradients, diminished with an increase in the gas flow rate. The study on thermo-capillary convection was extended into a computational study of bubble induced thermo-diffuso capillary convection in the presence of surfactants and a stratified thermal field. The complex interaction between the temperature-driven and concentration-driven capillary currents were observed and related to the enhancements in heat transfer seen in the vicinity of the bubble. As before, the effects of liquid viscosity, thermal gradients, wettability, and channel depth on the thermo-diffuso Marangoni currents were investigated. Finally, the model was also used to simulate adiabatic bubble growth in surfactant solutions and compare it with the bubble growth seen in water. The interfacial variation of surface tension, due to the presence of surfactant molecules, is seen to change the shape and size of the growing bubble substantially, as ii compared to pure water. However, it was established that the micro-convective capillary currents did not have a large role in determining the size of the departing bubble. The viscosity of the liquid and its effect on bubble growth and departure dynamics was the last parameter of interest with respect to bubble growth in capillary orifices. Over the course of this study, a critical criterion was established below which viscosity ceases to have any influence on bubbles growing from orifices submerged in viscous liquids. Similarly, the existence of another regime, where surface tension plays no role in the bubble dynamics, was also recognized. In this regime, the bubble growth is seen to be regulated by a balance of viscous drag force, gas momentum force, liquid inertia, and buoyancy force. The clear demarcation of these two regimes, which form the two asymptotes of a typical bubble regime map, together with the scaling of the forces involved in each individual regime resulted in a universal correlation for predicting the departure size of bubbles growing from all sizes of capillary orifices submerged in liquids with different viscosities, surface tensions, and densities, across a wide range of flow rates within the single bubble regime. The developed correlation was compared with experimental results and was seen to be in excellent agreement. While surfactants, in aqueous solutions, are known to change the gas-liquid interfacial tension temporally and spatially through selective adsorption at the interface, solutions of polymers, on the other hand impart a non-Newtonian, pseudo-plastic (shear-thinning) characteristic to the liquid. The influence of this shear-thinning behavior on bubble growth was studied experimentally with different concentrations and grades of HydroxyEthylCellulose. The effect of decreasing viscosity was clearly seen at high flow-rates by comparing the bubble sizes with the sizes of bubbles growing in water at corresponding flow rates. iii Finally, the results derived from the experimental and computational study of surfactant solutions was applied to data available for nucleate pool boiling in aqueous surfactant solutions to propose a scaling parameter capable of estimating the heat-transfer enhancement achieved through the use of these surfactants. The enhancement in heat-transfer is shown to scale with the bubble departure diameters, and the corresponding relaxation behavior of each surfactant solutions. This, in combination with an established predictive-correlation in the literature, gave form to a relation for predicting boiling heat-transfer rates in aqueous surfactant solutions. iv v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This doctoral work, which took a substantial part of my twenties, would not have been possible if not for the combined orchestrated effort of several people, who I will always be grateful to. First and foremost, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my adviser, Dr. Raj Manglik for his invaluable guidance, motivation, numerous discussions and suggestions, support (financial and otherwise) and most importantly the patience and trust that makes a doctoral student comfortable with his work. It goes without saying that this work wouldn’t have been possible without him. I would equally like to thank Dr. Milind Jog, my co-adviser, who always had his door open for clearing my doubts, running through computational methods, discussing results, and much more. I would also like to thank Dr. Je-Hyeong Bahk and Dr. Murali Sundaram, for taking time to serve on my proposal and dissertation committees, and providing me with valuable feedback, which helped in shaping this work into its final form. I am also very grateful to Frank Murrell and Dr. Bernie Rudd at the UC Simulation center for providing me with a research assistantship that enriched my doctoral experience through research-and-development interactions with several departments at Procter & Gamble. It was indeed a pleasure to work at the simulation center and interact with other students who were also a part of this brilliant collaboration. I cannot justify how thankful I am to my friends and fellow doctoral students, Sucharitha and Karthik, who were an integral part of my life at UC. They provided excellent companionship, inspiration, support, and proved to be great sounding boards for bouncing off ideas, thoughts and doubts.

    PHYSICAL REVIEW FLUIDS 5, 033605 (2020) Role of all jet drops in mass transfer from bursting bubbles Alexis Berny,1,2 Luc Deike ,2,3 Thomas Séon,1 and Stéphane Popinet 1 1Sorbonne Université, CNRS, UMR 7190, Institut Jean le Rond ࢚’Alembert, F-75005 Paris, France 2Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544, USA 3Princeton Environmental Institute, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544, USA (Received 12 September 2019; accepted 13 February 2020; published 10 March 2020) When a bubble bursts at the surface of a liquid, it creates a jet that may break up and produce jet droplets. This phenomenon has motivated numerous studies due to its multiple applications, from bubbles in a glass of champagne to ocean/atmosphere interactions. We simulate the bursting of a single bubble by direct numerical simulations of the axisymmetric two-phase liquid-gas Navier-Stokes equations. We describe the number, size, and velocity of all the ejected droplets, for a wide range of control parameters, defined as nondimensional numbers, the Laplace number which compares capillary and viscous forces and the Bond number which compares gravity and capillarity. The total vertical momentum of the ejected droplets is shown to follow a simple scaling relationship with a primary dependency on the Laplace number. Through a simple evaporation model, coupled with the dynamics obtained numerically, it is shown that all the jet droplets (up to 14) produced by the bursting event must be taken into account as they all contribute to the total amount of evaporated water. A simple scaling relationship is obtained for the total amount of evaporated water as a function of the bubble size and fluid properties.

  • Chapter 4 Solutal Marangoni Convection: Mass Transfer
    137 Chapter 4 Solutal Marangoni Convection: Mass Transfer Characteristics 4.1 Introduction In chapter 2, the microgravity experiments with V-shaped containers have been described. In chapter 3, the evolution of Marangoni flow and concentration patterns in these V-shaped containers have been modelled numerically. A reasonable agreement between experiment and model was obtained. In this chapter, the model that has been developed in chapter 3 is used to predict mass transfer characteristics for gas-liquid systems with a non- deformable interface. That is, the influence of Marangoni convection on the gas-liquid mass transfer is examined. In this way, an attempt is made to establish a link between the microgravity experiments and a better understanding of the relation between the Marangoni effect and mass transfer. The parameters varied in this study are the Marangoni, Schmidt and Biot numbers. Literature review Experimentally, the influence of the Marangoni effect on the mass transfer coefficient in gas-liquid systems has been studied by several authors [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]. In the most relevant studies [2, 5, 7], the enhancement of the liquid side mass transfer coefficient kL was correlated by equations of the following type: k L f = * (1) k L n æ Ma ö f = ç ÷ (2) è Ma C ø * In these equations f is the enhancement factor, k L the liquid side mass transfer coefficient in the absence of interfacial turbulence, Ma the Marangoni number, Mac the critical Marangoni number, and n an empirical parameter. Equation (2) is only valid when Ma > Mac. For values of Ma smaller than Mac, the enhancement factor is equal to 1.

  • Use of a Fictitious Marangoni Number for Natural
    a Use of a fictitious Marangoni number for natural convection simulation Francisco J. Arias∗ and Geoffrey T. Parks Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge Trumpington Street, Cambridge, CB2 1PZ, United Kingdom In this paper, a method based on the use of a fictitious Marangoni number is proposed for the simulation of natural thermocapillary convection as an alternative to the traditional effective diffusivity approach. The fundamental difference between these two methods is that the new method adopts convective mass flows in simulating natural convection. Heat transfer in the natural convection simulation is calculated through the mass transport. Therefore, empirical Nusselt num- bers correlations required in the effective diffusivity method are eliminated. This represents a clear advantage in the context of design studies where flexibility in varying the geometry unconstrained by the availability of appropriate correlations is highly desirable. The new method is demonstrated using a simple geometrical model. An analytical expression of the fictitious Marangoni number associated with convection between vertical plates is derived and a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation is performed to study the efficacy of the proposed method. The results show that the new method can approximate real natural convection quite accurately and can be used to simulate the convective flow in complex, obstructed or finned structures where the specific Nusselt correlation is not known. aKeywords.

The distance between the two bubbles’ centres was varied between three and twenty five bubble radii to analyse the influence of the inter-bubble spacing on the flow and temperature fields and the impact upon local wall heat transfer. For zero gravity conditions, it was determined that the local wall heat flux was greatest for the smallest separation of three bubble radii, but that the increase in heat transfer over the whole domain was greatest for a separation of ten bubble radii. When the effects of gravity were included in the model, the behaviour was observed to change between the cases. At large separations between the bubbles, increasing the gravity level was found to decrease the local wall heat flux, which was consistent with two-dimensional work. At small separations however, the increase in gravity led to an increase in the local wall heat flux, which was caused by a buoyancy-driven flow formed by the interaction of secondary vortices.

  • Investigation of Drag Coefficient and Virtual Mass Coefficient on Rising Ellipsoidal Bubbles
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Alexander M. Dueñas for the degree of Master of Science in Nuclear Engineering presented on December 5, 2019. Title: Investigation of Drag Coefficient and Virtual Mass Coefficient on Rising Ellipsoidal Bubbles Abstract approved: _____________________________________________________________________ Qiao Wu Wade R. Marcum Accurately describing drag and virtual mass forces in two-phase flows is crucial for high fidelity modeling of nuclear thermal hydraulic safety systems. This study compares existing drag coefficient, CD, correlations commonly used in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications for air bubbles to experimental data collected for ellipsoidal air bubbles of varying diameter. This study also measured the virtual mass coefficient on a cylinder rod using a method that considers viscous and wake effects. This experiment used velocity field measurements obtained with particle image velocimetry (PIV). An experimental flow loop has been built to inject air bubbles of varying diameter into an optically clear acrylic test section and had the capability to use a cylinder rod perpendicular to flow. A rigorous uncertainty analysis is presented for measured values which provided insight for improvements for future experimental studies. These experiments resulted in total, form, and skin drag coefficients to be directly measured with the nominal trend of increasing form drag for increasing bubble diameter experimentally confirmed. The virtual mass coefficient analysis demonstrated a method applicable for steady state conditions. This method was capable of retrieving the potential flow solution when the predicted drag work from the wake was removed and identified experimental setups useful for characterizing the influence of wake dynamics on virtual mass. ©Copyright by Alexander M.

  • Effects of Physical Properties on the Behaviour of Taylor Bubbles
    Computational Methods in Multiphase Flow V 355 Effects of physical properties on the behaviour of Taylor bubbles V. Hernández-Pérez, L. A. Abdulkareem & B. J. Azzopardi Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Nottingham, UK Abstract Gas-liquid flow in vertical pipes, which is important in oil/gas wells and the risers from sea bed completions to FPSOs, was investigated to determine the effects of physical properties on the characteristics of the mixture such as void fraction, structure frequency and velocity as well as the shape of 3D structures. These are difficult to visualise using conventional optical techniques because even if the pipe wall is transparent, near-wall bubbles would mask the flow deep in the pipe. Therefore, more sophisticated methods are required. Two advanced wire mesh sensors (WMS) were used and the two-phase mixtures employed were air-water and air-silicone oil. The effect of fluid properties is accounted for in terms of the Morton number. It was found that the flow pattern is affected by the fluid properties as the results revealed that contrary to what is commonly assumed when modelling pipe flow, the flow is not symmetric, with a lot of distortion, which is even higher for the air-silicone oil mixture. Keywords: gas/liquid, vertical, wire mesh sensor, slug flow, void fraction, structure velocity. 1 Introduction One of the most common structures found in gas-liquid flows is the Taylor bubble; it is related directly to the slug flow pattern in upward vertical flow, for instance in oil/gas applications. This bubble occupies the greater part of the pipe cross section.

  • Marangoni Convection in Droplets on Superhydrophobic Surfaces
    Under consideration for publication in J. Fluid Mech. 1 Marangoni convection in droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces By DANIEL TAM1, VOLKMAR von ARNIM2 †, G. H. McKINLEY2 A N D A. E. HOSOI2 1Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA 2Hatsopoulos Microfluids Laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA (Received ?? and in revised form ??) We consider a small droplet of water sitting on top of a heated superhydrophobic sur- face. A toroidal convection pattern develops in which fluid is observed to rise along the surface of the spherical droplet and to accelerate downwards in the interior towards the liquid/solid contact point. The internal dynamics arise due to the presence of a vertical temperature gradient; this leads to a gradient in surface tension which in turn drives fluid away from the contact point along the interface. We develop a solution to this thermocapillary-driven Marangoni flow analytically in terms of streamfunctions. Quan- titative comparisons between analytical and experimental results are presented as well as effective heat transfer coefficients. 1. Introduction Non-wettability, effective heat transfer coefficients and other material properties of hydrophobic surfaces are of interest in many industrial applications, such as efficient condensing design and waterproofing textiles. Since Wenzel (1936) noted seventy years ago that the hydrophobicity of a substrate can be enhanced through a combination of chemical modification and surface roughness, multiple studies have observed a substantial increase in static contact angles by integrating these two strategies. More recently the non-wetting properties of these substrates have been further enhanced and contact angles close to 180◦ have been achieved by introducing nanoscale roughness (e.g.

  • Chapter 2: Introduction
    Chapter 2: Introduction 2.1 Multiphase flow. At first glance it may appear that various two or multiphase flow systems and their physical phenomena have very little in common. Because of this, the tendency has been to analyze the problems of a particular system, component or process and develop system specific models and correlations of limited generality and applicability. Consequently, a broad understanding of the thermo-fluid dynamics of two-phase flow has been only slowly developed and, therefore, the predictive capability has not attained the level available for single-phase flow analyses. The design of engineering systems and the ability to predict their performance depend upon both the availability of experimental data and of conceptual mathematical models that can be used to describe the physical processes with a required degree of accuracy. It is essential that the various characteristics and physics of two-phase flow should be modeled and formulated on a rational basis and supported by detailed scientific experiments. It is well established in continuum mechanics that the conceptual model for single-phase flow is formulated in terms of field equations describing the conservation laws of mass, momentum, energy, charge, etc. These field equations are then complemented by appropriate constitutive equations for thermodynamic state, stress, energy transfer, chemical reactions, etc. These constitutive equations specify the thermodynamic, transport and chemical properties of a specific constituent material. It is to be expected, therefore, that the conceptual models for multiphase flow should also be formulated in terms of the appropriate field and constitutive relations. However, the derivation of such equations for multiphase flow is considerably more complicated than for single-phase flow.
