Comparison of Two Gas Injection Methods for Generating Bubbles in a T-Junction
(2020-05-28)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this work, we compare the performance of two different methods for generating bubbles in conditions relevant to microgravity. A T-junction formed by two cylindrical (1 mm of internal diameter) and perpendicular channels ... -
Controlled generation of vapor/liquid slug flows by local boiling in microgravity
(2020-09-01)
Article
Open AccessWe design, construct, and test a device for controlled boiling by means of local vapor bubble formation in a cavity that injects vapor bubbles in a capillary crossflow. The outcome of the device is a regular slug flow of ... -
