Dynamics of a single bubble rising in a quiescent medium

handle: 1959.13/1463466
Abstract In the present work, an experimental analysis was performed to characterise the flow field around a single bubble of different diameters ∼ 2.77–3.53 mm) rising in a quiescent medium aiming to determine the effect of bubble size on kinetic energy distribution. The velocity field was measured using a non-intrusive particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique and kinetic energy spectrum was determined in both transverse and longitudinal directions applying a Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT). Both small- and large-scale motions of the flow field were identified and separated using a discreate wavelet transformation (DWT) method. It was found that the energy spectrum of the large-scale motions depended on the bubble size while the small-scale energy spectrum was nearly independent of it. The slopes of the energy spectrum were found to be close to -5/3 and -3 for the large- and small-scale regimes, respectively and the transition of slope was observed to occur at the wavenumber corresponding to the bubble diameter. Using the measured velocity field data, a turbulence kinetic energy (TKE) budget analysis was performed involving five components namely kinetic energy production, turbulent transport, pressure diffusion, viscous diffusion, and energy dissipation. Overall, it was observed that in the vicinity of bubble surface, turbulence production term was not entirely balanced by the dissipation term; and turbulent transport and pressure diffusion term also had significant contributions.
