Lift force in bubbly flow systems

Abstract From the significance of three-dimensional simulation of dispersed flow systems in many engineering fields, extensive study was conducted for lift force in a single particle system as well as a multiparticle system. In this study, the lift force in a single particle system was modeled by considering the effect of bubble deformation on the lift force. The model was finalized based on existing data obtained in the range of particle Reynolds number from 3.68 to 78.8, viscous number from 0.0435 to 0.203 and Eotvos number from 1.40 to 5.83. The viscous number is defined by μ f / [ ρ f σ σ / ( g Δ ρ ) ] 1 / 2 where μ f , ρ f , σ , g and Δ ρ are, respectively, fluid viscosity, fluid density, surface tension, gravitational acceleration and density difference between phases. The applicability of the model to higher particle Reynolds number system such as an air–water system was qualitatively examined. The lift force model developed in a single particle system was extended to a multiparticle system. The applicability of the extended lift force model was qualitatively examined. The similarity between drag and lift forces were also discussed.
