Abstract
In order to obtain the laws of the bubble's dynamic behaviours, the interFoam solver in OpenFOAM was used to simulate the bubbles, and the experimental device was built to prove the reliability of the results. The Eötvös number (Eo) and the Galileo number (Ga) were used to classify the bubbles into four regions according to their different dynamic behaviours: straight line without deformation region, slight zigzag without deformation region, zigzag with slight deformation region, and zigzag with strong deformation region. Eo of bubbles in the straight line without deformation region is extremely small and is greatly influenced by surface tension. The bubbles do not deform and rise linearly along the axis of symmetry. Eo of bubbles in the slight zigzag without deformation region is still small and the bubbles do not deform, but the path is curved for a period of time. As the value of Eo increases, the bubble in the zigzag with the slight deformation region is weakened. The path is a regular zigzag, and the axisymmetric structure of the bubbles is destroyed. In the zigzag with the strong deformation region, the values of Eo and Ga are large. The path amplitude increases and the periodic law is broken. The bubble's deformation and vortex shedding interact with each other, both of which are the causes of the bubble's path instability.
为了获得气泡动态行为的规律,利用 OpenFOAM 中的 interFoam 求解器对气泡进行了模拟,并建立了实验装置来证明结果的可靠性。根据气泡的不同动态行为,用埃特沃斯数(Eo)和伽利略数(Ga)将气泡分为四个区域:直线无变形区、轻微之字形无变形区、之字形轻微变形区和之字形强变形区。无变形直线区气泡的 Eo 值非常小,受表面张力的影响很大。气泡不变形,沿对称轴线性上升。在轻微之字形无变形区域,气泡的 Eo 值仍然很小,气泡不会变形,但在一段时间内路径是弯曲的。随着 Eo 值的增大,轻微变形之字形区域中的气泡变弱。路径变成规则的之字形,气泡的轴对称结构被破坏。在强变形之字形区域,Eo 和 Ga 值较大。路径振幅增大,周期性规律被打破。气泡的变形和涡流脱落相互作用,两者都是气泡路径不稳定的原因。
