D09.00001: The transition between steady states: A time-dependent Bretherton bubble Yingxian Estella Yu, Lailai Zhu, Suin Shim, Jens Eggers, Howard A Stone When a confined bubble translates steadily in a cylindrical capillary, with negligible gravity effects, a uniform thin film of fluid separates the bubble surface and the tube wall. Although a wide variety of investigations have been carried out analyzing the relationship between the film thickness profile and the bubble velocity, most of the literature considers the case where the translational velocity is a constant, thus the bubble profile is steady. Instead, in this work, we investigate how this steady state is established by considering the transitional motion of the bubble as it adjusts its film thickness profile between two steady states, characterized by two different bubble speeds. During the transition, two uniform film regimes coexist, separated by a step-like transitional region. The transitional motion also requires modification of the film solution near the rear of the bubble, which depends on the ratio of the two capillary numbers. These theoretical results are further verified by experiments and numerical simulations. |

D09.00002: Inertial and buoyancy effects on the horizontal flow of Taylor bubbles in a circular channel Hannah Moran, Mirco Magnini, Christos N Markides, Omar K Matar The effect of gravity on liquid film thickness around an elongated bubble travelling along a horizontal liquid-filled tube is studied numerically. At small Reynolds (Re) and Bond (Bo) numbers buoyancy and inertial effects are negligible and the liquid film thickness is a function of only the capillary number (Ca). As the tube diameter reaches millimetre length scales the buoyancy forces become non-negligible. 2D simulations for Bond and capillary numbers in the ranges 0.05<Bo<0.42 and 5 104<Ca<0.12 have been performed. These simulations capture the asymmetry of the liquid film thickness, where gravitational effects cause the liquid film to be thinner at the top of the tube than the bottom. The 2D simulations do not capture bubble inclination relative to the channel centreline, but this is in agreement with experimental studies on the effect of gravity on a Saffman-Taylor meniscus. 3D simulations can capture transverse flow, and thus film drainage from the top to the bottom of the tube and its effect on bubble inclination. 3D numerical simulations are systematically performed to span a wide range of Ca, Re and Bo and thus investigate how inertial forces impact the flow. |

D09.00003: Potential repulsive force acting on a pair of slightly different size in-line bubbles at intermediate Reynolds number Toshiyuki Sanada Various studies have been reported about a pair of bubbles rising in-line. Two same size bubbles rise keeping a constant distance in the numerical or theoretical prediction due to the balancing between the potential repulsive and viscous attractive forces, and the distance is called equilibrium distance. On the other hand, a motion which trailing bubble deviate from a vertical line was reported in experiments and the deviated distance was larger than the equilibrium distance. We considered that this is due to the slight difference of two bubbles diameter in the experiment. In this study, we observed the motion of two bubbles rising in-line experimentally with precise measurement of bubble sizes. As a result, two bubbles rose linearly just after bubble generation. After that, bubbles deviated from a vertical line. When the trailing bubble was larger than the leading bubble, two bubbles deviated from a vertical line to opposite direction. We believe this deviation is caused by repulsive force due to potential effect. On the other hand, when the leading bubble was larger than trailing bubble, only the trailing bubble deviated from a vertical line. We considered that the deviation of the trailing bubble was caused by lift force due to wake of the leading bubble. |

D09.00004: Dynamic behavior of bubbles on a porous membrane with different wettabilities Park JooYoung, Ryu Jeongeun, Lee Sang Joon Porous structures have attracted considerable attention in handling and collecting gas bubbles underwater. However, dynamic behavior of bubbles on porous surface with different wettability is less understood so far. Here, we experimentally studied the dynamic behavior of bubbles beneath the porous membranes with different wettabilities. Especially, the bubble disappearance pattern varies distinctively depending on the wettability of the porous membrane. Such pattern was classified into three stages: water-film breakage, constant contact line, and constant contact angle. Bouncing of a bubble was preceded before adhesion of the bubble on the hydrophilic (HM) and hydrophobic membrane (HPM). Bubble removal through HM and HPM have same sequential variation in stages. Interestingly, the bubble directly bursts and spreads throughout the air film trapped by micro-nano structures of the superhydrophobic membrane. Based on the observations, the bubble behavior at each stage was examined with the aid of force balance and energy conversion. The geometric effects of the membrane on the dynamic behavior of bubbles disappearance was also discussed. |

D09.00006: Reversal of lift on a bubble in a linear shear flow under low Morton number condition Wooram Lee, Jaeyoung Lee In a linear shear flow, bubble changes its lateral moving direction depending on Morton number and Reynolds number. Such a phenomenon has been known as ‘reversal of lift.’ Several correlations on the lift have been made by experimental or numerical methods. However, current data in the literature for low Morton number condition, such as atmospheric air-water, are lacking or show large discrepancies. To fill the gap, we present experimental measurement results on the lift on a bubble in a linear shear flow made by special vanes in the water channel. Observing aspect ratios and rising velocities of tested bubbles, it is confirmed that these are fully contaminated. Our data on the time-averaged lift coefficient show relatively large standard deviation than that of the more viscous case, though, the sample means of them present the consistent tendency to these of clean bubbles of various Morton number conditions. The physical modeling of the phenomenon is discussed with the detailed analysis of the oscillatory motion and shape of bubbles. |

D09.00007: The effect of interface mobility on coalescence dynamics Yuansi Tian, Ivan U. Vakarelski, Rogerio Manica, Erqiang Li, Elka S. Basheva, Derek Y. C. Chan, Sigurdur T Thoroddsen When a bubble rises through a liquid towards a deformable free interface, it can bounce or coalesce. The mobility of the two interfaces has a dramatic effect on the coalescence dynamics. By using a system with air, water and perfluorocarbon liquid (PP11) we can vary the mobility of the various interfaces from immobile to fully mobile. The particular mobility is verified by measuring the terminal velocity of small bubbles rising at low Reynolds numbers. We use high-speed video imaging to track the bubble approach and coalescence. The film drainage time is found to be two orders of magnitude shorter for fully mobile interfaces. We use a theoretical model to verify the importance of hydrodynamics and surface mobility on the measured film drainage times*. |

D09.00008: Numerical study on the rising bubbles in a power-law fluid Shu Takagi, Varun Jadon, Kazuyasu Sugiyama In the present talk, a single rising bubble and 2 bubbles rising in a Non-Newtonian power-law fluid have been investigated through the direct numerical simulations. An interface capturing method with a continuous function is introduced and the three-dimensional model based on modified VOF method is used to study two-bubble interaction phenomena for both the Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluid. For Newtonian Fluid, bubbles rising in side-by-side configurations are simulated for low and moderate Reynolds number and the results are compared with Legendre et al. (JFM, 2003). For power-law fluid, shear thinning and shear thickening effects are analyzed. In the present model, the viscous stress is expressed as a function of shear rate. The simulations are conducted with the variation of effective viscosity and initial separations ranging from 3R to 11R, where R is the initial radius of bubbles. The numerical results give the information for the effect of Non-Newtonian characteristics to the lateral movement of bubbles due to the mutual interactions. The quantitative detail analysis will be given in the talk. |

D09.00009: Non-isothermal bubble rise dynamics in a self-rewetting fluid at high Marangoni numbers Manoj Kumar Tripathi, Mounika Balla, Kirti Sahu, George Karapetsas, Omar K Matar The dynamics of a gas bubble inside a self-rewetting fluid filled in a channel with a linearly increasing temperature at the wall in the vertical direction is investigated via axisymmetric numerical simulations. The surface tension of self-rewetting fluids is known to exhibit a parabolic dependence on temperature with a well-defined minimum. The objectives of this study are to investigate the effect of Marangoni stresses on bubble rise in a self-rewetting fluid using a consistent model fully accounting for the tangential surface tension forces, with an emphasis to the dynamics with high Marangoni number. The effects of other dimensionless numbers, such as Reynolds, Bond and Froude numbers are also investigated. |
