Breakage and coalescence models for drops in turbulent dispersions
Abstract
Abstract A substantial effort has been made by numerous investigators to describe droplet breakage and coalescence in turbulent dispersions. An attempt is made here to improve these models based on existing frameworks and recent advances described in the literature. Two‐step mechanisms are considered for both the breakage and coalescence models. The drop breakage function is structured as the product of the drop‐eddy collision frequency and breakage efficiency which reflect the energetics of turbulent liquid‐liquid dispersions. The coalescence function retains the former structure of the product of drop‐drop collision frequency and coalescence efficiency. The coalescence efficiency model has been modified to account for the effects of film drainage for drops with partially mobile interfaces. These models overcome several inconsistencies observed in previous efforts and are applicable for dense dispersions (about ϕ[0.10–0.30]). For the daughter drops produced by breakage, a probability density is proposed based on the energy requirements for the formation of daughter drops.

In the citing paper
“The daughter drop size distribution should be bimodal with a higher probability density at the ends rather than in the center since the energy requirement for the breakage of a drop into two drops of equal size is larger than the one needed for the breakage into a small and a large drop.”

In the citing paper
“The model of Tsouris and Tavlarides [275] assumes the same form as the one of Prince and Blanch [273]. The eddy-drop collision frequency is based on the assumptions that the isotropic turbulence holds, the drop size is in the inertial sub-range, and only eddies whose size is equal to or smaller than the drop size can cause the breakage of the drops.”

In the citing paper
“The main idea underlying the eddy-drop collision frequency is that eddies and drops behave like ideal gas molecules and collision phenomena can be modeled utilizing the kinetic theory of gases. Besides, it is assumed that the energy required for the breakage of a drop is proportional to the energy needed to create a new surface.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
