Abstract
A comprehensive study was conducted on the dynamics of bubbles in a 0.10–0.40 wt% polyacrylamide (PAAM) solution in the presence and absence of a surfactant, considering various shape parameters and dimensionless numbers, for a broad range of bubble volumes, from 5 to 2000 mm3. A detailed rheological analysis is performed for the chemical solutions. A safe injection period is determined such that a bubble is unaffected by another one. Unsteady results are presented. Steadiness of the bubble is checked for various shape parameters, and safe column length is determined. Uncertainty analysis is also performed. Cusp formation at the bubble tail and its correlation with the surrounding stress were assessed using flow birefringence. No discontinuity in bubble velocity is reported. As the water-soluble surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), is added at 10 and 100 ppm concentration, the bubbles stretch out more in the vertical direction, and cusp formation commences at a lower volume and is more pronounced.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics publishes research on flowing soft matter systems. Submissions in all areas of flowing complex fluids are welcomed, including polymer melts and solutions, suspensions, colloids, surfactant solutions, biological fluids, gels, liquid crystals and granular materials. Flow problems relevant to microfluidics, lab-on-a-chip, nanofluidics, biological flows, geophysical flows, industrial processes and other applications are of interest.
Subjects considered suitable for the journal include the following (not necessarily in order of importance):
Theoretical, computational and experimental studies of naturally or technologically relevant flow problems where the non-Newtonian nature of the fluid is important in determining the character of the flow. We seek in particular studies that lend mechanistic insight into flow behavior in complex fluids or highlight flow phenomena unique to complex fluids. Examples include
Instabilities, unsteady and turbulent or chaotic flow characteristics in non-Newtonian fluids,
Multiphase flows involving complex fluids,
Problems involving transport phenomena such as heat and mass transfer and mixing, to the extent that the non-Newtonian flow behavior is central to the transport phenomena,
Novel flow situations that suggest the need for further theoretical study,
Practical situations of flow that are in need of systematic theoretical and experimental research. Such issues and developments commonly arise, for example, in the polymer processing, petroleum, pharmaceutical, biomedical and consumer product industries.
