🎥 New Simulation Video: Mass Transfer in Gravity-Driven Bubbly Flow
Using the multi-marker Unstructured Conservative Level Set (UCLS) method [1,2]
A chemical species is transferred from the gas bubble to the surrounding liquid. The interaction between bubbles and their path instabilities enhances mixing of a chemical species in the bulk liquid.
📌 Objective: Compute the Sherwood number (Sh) based on direct numerical simulations.
🔬 Dimensionless Parameters:
Eötvös number (Eo) = 3.125
Morton number (Mo) = 5×10⁻¹¹
Schmidt number (Sc) = 1
