Abstract

In order to investigate characteristics of bubble deformation in immiscible fluids, the bubble shape change during the interface and the relationship between aspect ratio(E) and dimensionless number of forces is obtained. A three-dimensional model is established and the free-floating behavior of a single bubble in immiscible fluids is numerically simulated by phase-field method. The simulation results are in good agreement with experimental results. The research shows that, in the lower liquid, the relationship between E and We, Ta, Re is distributed between two intersecting lines. In the upper liquid, the relationship between E and We, Ta, Re is distributed between two parallel lines. Comparing the bubble deformation and the influence of the forces. Compared with gravity, the inertial force plays a leading role in the bubble shape in the lower liquid and upper liquid. Compared with the viscous force, the surface tension dominates the bubble shape in the lower liquid.
