Computational Fluid Dynamics Modelling of Two-Phase Bubble Columns: A Comprehensive Review
Bubble columns are used in many different industrial applications, and their design and characterisation have always been very complex. In recent years, the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has become very popular in the field of multiphase ...

Prediction of Bubble Size Distributions in Large-Scale Bubble Columns Using a Population Balance Model [PDF]
A precise estimation of the bubble size distribution (BSD) is required to understand the fluid dynamics in gas-liquid bubble columns at the “bubble scale,” evaluate the heat and mass transfer rate, and support scale-up approaches.

Prediction of bubble size in Bubble columns using Artificial Neural Network
In the literature, several correlations have been proposed for bubble size prediction in bubble columns. However these correlations fail to predict bubble diameter over a wide range of conditions. Based on a data bank of around 230 measurements collected

“Bubble Bunch” phenomenon in operation of a bubble column
Abstract While studying the operation of a rectangular bubble column in laboratory scale, it was observed that under certain circumstances tiny bubbles attach to larger bubbles without causing them to coalesce. In other words, bubbles with large diameters (d > 5 mm) swept tiny bubbles (d

Fluid Dynamic in Bubble Columns with Heat Exchanger Internals [PDF]
The effects of vertical cooling internals on the gas hydrodynamics was studied in gas-liquid system (bubble columns) for column diameters, 15 and 30 cm in the absence and presence of internals (the % occluded area by internals 5, 10, and 20%).

Bubble properties of heterogeneous bubbly flows in a square bubble column [PDF]
The present work focuses on the measurements of bubble properties in heterogeneous bubbly flows in a square bubble column. A four-point optical fibre probe was used for this purpose. The accuracy and intrusive effect of the optical probe was investigated first.
