Abstract
- Abstract: The results of large eddy simulations (LES) of turbulent bubbly wake flows are presented. The LES technique was applied together with the Lagrangian particle dynamics method and a random flow generation (RFG) technique to the cases of a two-phase bubbly mixing layer and the high-Reynolds number bubbly ship-wake flows. The validation was performed on the experimental data for the bubbly mixing layer. Instantaneous distributions and probability density functions of bubbles in the wake were obtained using a joint LES/RFG approach. Separate estimates of bubble decay due to dissolution and buoyancy effects were obtained. The analysis of bubble agglomeration effects was done on the basis of experimental data for a turbulent vortex to satisfy one-way coupling that is used in this study. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
