The propagation of temperature and concentration fields around a deformed gas bubble rising in a quiescent hot or bi‐solution liquid

Abstract

This paper is concerned with a numerical study on evolution of a deformed bubble and propagation of the fields around the bubble. The model uses a numerical procedure with the direct‐predictor method and the alternating dependent variables (ADV) skill developed by Li and Yan. The aim of this paper is to study the characteristics of interfacial transport for a deformed inviscid bubble rising in a quiescent hot or bi‐solution liquid. The effects of the bubble deformation on temperature and concentration fields are calculated and simulated. The results demonstrate that the current numerical procedure is effective for solving such unsteady deformation problems of bubble accompanied with heat and mass transfer.
