Abstract: Abstract Bubble-plume mixing systems are often deployed in eutrophic lakes and reservoirs to manage phytoplankton taxa. Unfortunately, inconsistent outcomes from bubble-plume (induced) mixing are often reported in the literature. The present study investigates the response… read more here.

Abstract: We present the turbulent kinetic energy (t.k.e.) budget of a dilute bubble plume in its asymptotic state. The budget is derived from an experimental dataset of bubble plumes formed inside an unstratified water tank. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/jfm.2020.326
Abstract: We investigate the turbulence statistics in a multiphase plume made of heavy particles (particle Reynolds number at terminal velocity is 450). Using refractive-index-matched stereoscopic particle image velocimetry, we measure the locations of particles whose buoyancy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02726351.2019.1642269
Abstract: Abstract In this study, particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique was used for the quantitative visualization and analysis of the liquid phase flow structure driven by a chain of air bubbles in a rectangular bubble column.… read more here.
