This is mainly because high kinetic energy region, which is concentrated at the axial ends of the droplet, is inhibited by particles in this region. We then vary the viscosity ratio of ambient fluid to droplet and find that for a moderate viscosity ratio, decreasing the particle distribution range causes the droplet oscillation mode to shift from critically damped to overdamped. In the under-damped mode, droplets are able to reach steady state earlier with a decrease in particle distribution range, while an opposite trend is observed in the overdamped mode. We also demonstrate that in addition to introducing particles, the reduction of particle distribution range equally contributes to increasing apparent viscosity of the ambient fluid. Finally, it is found that as the contact angle decreases, the damping ratio of droplet oscillations increases due to increased viscous dissipations and thus the maximum kinetic energy that the droplet can achieve decreases. As the particle distribution range increases, the effect of particles on droplet oscillations weakens, gradually making total kinetic energy and droplet deformation evolution curves for different contact angles indistinguishable.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":339,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Multiphase Flow","volume":"195 ","pages":"Article 105554"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145569382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experiments were carried out in a recirculating water tunnel with a scaled-down SUBOFF submarine model, and the results were compared with numerical simulations performed using OpenFOAM. Five distinct air-layer morphologies are identified, distinguished by their symmetry and wake stability, which result in structures ranging from stable, symmetric layers to unstable, foam-like formations. The formation of these morphologies is governed by the interplay between buoyancy and inertia, with an increasing Froude number enhancing inertial forces over buoyancy to promote a transition from asymmetric to symmetric layers, while the ventilation rate primarily dictates the air layer coverage and the onset of instability. Moreover, larger slit sizes promote the formation of longer and thicker air layers, yet increased instability is observed at excessive ventilation rates. Optimal drag reduction occurs when low Froude numbers are paired with moderate ventilation rates, thereby facilitating the formation of a continuous and stable air layer. With further increases in ventilation rates, although wall shear stress is reduced over most of the surface, boundary layer separation is significantly enhanced, with a low-pressure region forming at the tail that considerably increases pressure drag. Consequently, the net drag reduction is weaker than expected at very high ventilation rates.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":339,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Multiphase Flow","volume":"195 ","pages":"Article 105527"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145517913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
