AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies struggle to accurately simulate the motion of bubbles at high density ratios, especially the evolution process at the bubble interface in gas-liquid two-phase flow, leading to inaccurate calculation results.
We employ a numerical method based on LSMPS, combining multi-resolution particle layout, explicit calculation of temporary velocities, artificial viscosity terms, and pressure jump formulas. We simulate the rising behavior of bubbles using a semi-implicit method with meshless moving particles, particularly the calculation of particle pressure at the interface nodes between the gas and liquid phases.
Accurate simulation of the rising behavior of high density ratio bubbles was achieved, capturing the evolution of the bubble interface and analyzing bubble characteristics such as total rising velocity, bubble top velocity, bubble bottom velocity, centroid height, bubble volume and surface area, thus verifying the effectiveness of the meshless LSMPS method.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fluid mechanics technology, specifically relating to a numerical calculation method for the rising behavior of high density ratio bubbles based on LSMPS. Background Technology
[0002] Rising bubble motion is widespread in various engineering fields, such as marine engineering, chemical engineering, energy engineering, and environmental engineering. High density ratio phenomena in gas-liquid two-phase flows often occur during bubble ascent. For example, rising air bubbles in water and rising inert gas bubbles in liquid metal systems have gas-liquid density ratios approaching a thousand or even ten thousand times. Under these conditions, due to the discontinuity of fluid properties, abrupt jumps / drops in density and pressure typically occur at the interface. Due to the combined effects of buoyancy, inertial forces, viscous forces, and surface tension, bubble dynamics become highly nonlinear, making the interface prone to instability and severe deformation. Therefore, in-depth research into the motion laws of high-density-ratio bubbles is of great significance for revealing the fundamental mechanisms of multiphase flow. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The invention is further characterized by: In step 1, during the initial arrangement of gas and liquid phase particles, the particle arrangement near the phase interface adopts multi-resolution technology, that is, different regions use different particle spacing and different resolutions. The closer to the phase interface, the smaller the particle spacing and the denser the particle distribution. The farther away from the phase interface, the larger the particle spacing and the sparser the particle distribution.

It's a temporary speed. Convection term, velocity correction It is the particle's velocity. This is the artificial viscosity item, indicated by the superscript. Indicates the calculation steps, subscript i Represents particles i .
[0007] In step 3, for gas particles and interface nodes, consider the following pressure equation: For gas particles: (2) For UI nodes: (3).
[0008] In step 4, a pressure jump occurs at the interface node between the gas and liquid phases. The formula for calculating the pressure jump is: (4) in, It is a gas interface node i Pressure It is a liquid interface node i Pressure, superscript and All of these represent calculation steps.
[0009] In step 5, the pressure jump calculated in step 4 is used as the Dirichlet boundary condition for the calculation of liquid phase particle pressure. The liquid phase particle pressure is calculated using the following formula: (5).
[0010] The particle velocity correction calculation formula in step 6 is as follows: (6).
[0011] The formula for calculating the positions of updated particles and interface node particles in step 7 is as follows: (7).
[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention presents a numerical calculation method for the rising behavior of high-density ratio bubbles based on LSMPS.

[0016] Example 1 A numerical calculation method for the rising behavior of high-density ratio bubbles based on LSMPS is used. In step 1, the computational domain is a two-dimensional axisymmetric model, where a single hemispherical bubble rises in a static liquid under the influence of buoyancy. The computational model consists of liquid particles, gas particles, wall particles, and interface node particles. The topology of the gas-liquid interface is described by the positions of the interface node particles. Figures 2a-2b As shown, the computational domain has a height of H, a width of L, and a distance h from the bubble center to the bottom. In this invention, L is greater than twice the initial bubble radius, and h is twice the initial bubble radius. The upper and lower walls use no-slip boundary conditions, while the sides use free-slip boundary conditions.
[0017] like Figure 3 As shown, when the gas and liquid phase particles are initially arranged, the particle arrangement near the phase interface adopts multi-resolution technology, that is, different regions use different particle spacing and different resolutions.

[0026] Example 9 This embodiment yields simulation results of the upward motion of a single air bubble with an initial radius of 0.0025m in water, as follows: Figure 5-7 As shown.
[0027] During the bubble's ascent, the terminal ascent speed after the bubble stabilizes It is a key parameter characterizing bubble flow in a liquid. The terminal velocity of the bubble is determined using Clift's empirical formula: (9) In this invention, when the initial radii of the bubble are 0.0025 m, 0.00375 m and 0.005 m, the terminal velocities obtained from empirical formulas are 0.236 m / s, 0.240 m / s and 0.255 m / s, respectively.
[0028] like Figure 8 The variation of the total rising velocity of the bubble with time under different initial radii is shown. The formula for calculating the total rising velocity of the bubble in this invention is expressed as follows: (10) in, v c It is the total velocity of the bubbles. N g It is the number of gas phase particles. v i It is a particle i speed, r i It is a particle i The location.
[0029] Bubble shape is defined by three dimensionless numbers: the Morton number, the Eötvös number, and the Reynolds number. (11) (12) (13) In this invention, the Morton number, Eötvös number, and Reynolds number are listed in Table 1, as shown in the table: Table 1. Parameters of air bubble rise in water
[0030] The differences between the speeds obtained from the empirical formulas and the speeds obtained from the numerical simulations of this invention are 5.9%, 12.5%, and 17.6%, respectively. Overall, the calculation results agree well with the experimentally obtained empirical formula predictions.

Combining techniques such as particle dynamic multi-resolution schemes, particle movement schemes, and artificial viscosity schemes, it numerically simulates the rising motion characteristics of bubbles at high density ratios and accurately captures changes in the bubble interface. Using an axisymmetric model, the rising behavior of air bubbles in water and nitrogen bubbles in lead-bismuth alloys was numerically simulated. This accurately captures the evolution of the bubble interface, analyzes the changes in the total rising velocity of the bubbles and the velocities at the top and bottom of the bubbles, and obtains the evolution of the bubble's centroid height, volume, surface area, and aspect ratio over time.
