purpose: to assess parameters that had a capability of influencing the rate of big bubble formation during deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (dalk) in keratoconus. methods: a total of 290 consecutive eyes from 257 patients with keratoconus that underwent dalk using the big-bubble technique were enrolled. the influence of patient age and sex, family history of keratoconus, history of contact l...

The study of bubble dynamics, especially the interaction of bubbles, has drawn considerable attention due to its various applications in engineering and science. Meanwhile, the study of the oscillation effect of a bubble on the emitted pressure wave of another bubble in an acoustic field which has less been investigated. This issue is investigated in the present study using the coupling of Kell...

The transient bubble behavior was experimentally investigated to fundamentally understand the transient motion of gas bubbles in freely bubbling fluidized beds, simulating the FBC systems. Due to the oversimplified traditional two phase flow model concepts developed and most of the related numerous experimental works from 1960s to 1980s, the transient bubble behaviors could not have received du...

In present paper acombination of three-dimensional isothermal and two-dimensional non-isothermal Lattice Boltzmann Method have been used to simulate the motion of bubble and effect of wetting properties of the surface on bubble separation. By combining these models, three-dimensional model has been used in two-dimension for decreasing the computational cost. Firstly, it has been ensured that th...

Min Ma National University of Defense Technology Department of Astronautical Technology Changsha, 410073, China Abstract. A single fringe phase shifting technique is presented for extracting the whole-field displacement distribution from single fringe patterns. By making a small modification in the traditional Fourier transform (FFT) method for fringe processing, the proposed method is capable ...

In the report we demonstrate how, using laser light, effectively trap gas bubbles and transport them through a liquid phase to a desired destination by shifting the laser beam position. The physics underlying the effect is complex but quite general as it comes from the limited to two-dimension, well-known, Marangoni effect. The experimental microscope-based system consists of a thin layer of li...

Three-dimensional finite-volume-based numerical models of fluid, heat, and mass transport have been developed and applied to help explain the complex inter-related phenomena of multiphase fluid flow, superheat dissipation, and grade intermixing during the continuous casting of steel slabs. Gas bubbles are simulated using a continuum model, which calculates the volume fraction and velocities of ...

In this paper, a CFD model of syngas flow in slurry bubble column was developed. The model is based on an Eulerian-Eulerian approach and includes three phases: slurry of solid particles suspended in paraffin oil and syngas bubbles. Numerical calculations carried out for catalyst particles, bubble coalescence and breakup included bubble-fluid drag force and interfacial area effects. Also, the ef...
