This study develops robust numerical algorithms for the simulation of three-phase (solid-liquid-gas) boiling and bubble formation problems in rectangular channels. The are based on Finite Volume Methods (FVM) implement both volume-of-fluid (VOF) methods liquid-gas interface tracking as well volume-fraction to account concentration embedded solid nano-particles liquid phase. Water is used base-l...

if an air flow is injected into a liquid fluid, many ambulant air bubbles are formed inside the fluid. air bubbles move inside the liquid fluid because of the buoyancy force, and the mobility of these air bubbles makes sizable commixture and turbulence inside the fluid. this mechanism was employed to enhance the heat transfer rate of a horizontal double pipe heat exchanger in this paper. howeve...

This report mainly introduces our recent research on the shock-induced collapse, migration and coalescence of He bubbles in metal based atomistic simulations. The bubble will be compressed to permanent deformation with finite plastic collapse metal. Under strong shock, can breakdown by nano-jet metal, but it returns a reduced sphere molten after long-time evolution, driven He-Al interface energ...

We study the stability of polymer-shelled bubbles with controlled dimensions generated from air-in-oil-inwater (A/O/W) compound bubbles. We show that the ratio of the shell thickness to bubble radius is critical in generating un-deformed polymer-shelled bubbles from A/O/W compound bubbles. In addition, the effects of shell stiffness and encapsulated gas on bubble stability are also investigated...

This Letter reports experiments on the shape and path of air bubbles ~diameter range 0.1–0.2 cm! rising in clean water. We find that bubbles in this diameter range have two steady shapes, a sphere and an ellipsoid, depending on the size of the capillary tube from which they detach. The spherical bubbles move significantly slower than the ellipsoidal ones of equivalent volume. Bubbles with diame...

Stock price bubbles are often on productive assets and occur in a sector of the economy. In addition, their occurrence is often accompanied by credit booms. Incorporating these features, we provide a two-sector endogenous growth model with credit-driven stock price bubbles. Bubbles have a credit easing effect in that they relax collateral constraints and improve investment efficiency. Sectoral ...
