Abstract

In a newly build counterflow water channel multiphase flows can be investigated with and without emulated background fluctuations. These fluctuations create a model swarm that allows to investigate single bubbles as if they are moving in a bubbleswarm without the visual obscuration of a real swarm. The fluctuations are created with specially designed particle grids that are mounted on-top of the channel and excited by the counterflow. These girds consist of small plastic beads in the size of the to be investigated bubble. Each bead is solely attached to the element in vertical direction, which allows the string of beads to move with the flow, creating a more truthful swarm agitation. Several grids, varying in design and volume fraction were characterized and the grid with a volume fraction of 10% and 5 mm beads showed the best accordance with real bubble swarms. With these grids it is possible to use optical methods like PIV (particle image velocimetry) to measure the flow statistics behind and around a single bubble. With a newly introduced 3D reconstruction the timeresolved shape of the bubble can be measured simultaneously with the flow around it. Investigation of the shape revealed that it is necessary even for small bubbles to apply a full 3D evaluation, for example with the surface-to-volume ratio. With this the shape oscillations can be described and shown the oscillations are hindered by the external fluctuations but not fully suppressed. In addition, it was shown that the movement of the bubble in an emulated swarm is mainly driven by the pressure gradients in the flow.
