Application of the exact regularised point particle method (ERPP) to bubbleladen turbulent shear flows in the two-way coupling regime
Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of a bubbly laden homogeneous shear flow has beencarried out using the Exact Regularised Point Particle method (ERRP) as inter-phase mo-mentum coupling approach. The aim of the study consists in addressing the modulationof shear turbulence and the bubble clustering geometry in presence of different inter-phasemomentum coupling conditions. Suspensions with different combinations of void fractionand Kolmogorov-based Stokes number, in the dilute regime, have been addressed. Bubblessuppress the turbulent kinetic energy and turbulent dissipation as well.
