The behaviour of bubbles in liquids is important in many production processes, such as separating oil from water in the oil industry, understanding how ink droplets behave in printers and in manufacturing foods such as mayonnaise, or other types of emulsions.
However, it is also extremely difficult to calculate bubble behaviour. Now a TU Delft researcher, Jok Tang, has devised a new method.
“We believe that our method will be adopted by industry in the not too distant future,” said Tang. “[This is] not just because the need for this method becomes greater when calculating larger-scale problems, but mainly because it is quicker and cheaper than the methods used now.”
