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.
