Liquid inertia versus bubble cloud buoyancy in circular plunging jet experiments

Résumé

When a liquid jet plunges into a pool, it can generate a bubble-laden jet flow underneath the surface. This common and simple phenomenon is investigated experimentally for circular jets to illustrate and quantify the role played by the net gas/liquid void fraction on the maximum bubble penetration depth. It is first shown that an increase in either the impact diameter or the jet fall height to diameter ratio at constant impact momentum leads to a reduction in the bubble cloud size. By systematically measuring the local void fraction using optical probes in the biphasic jet, it is then demonstrated that this effect is a direct consequence of the increase in the air content within the cloud. A simple momentum balance model, including only inertia and the buoyancy force, is shown to predict the bubble cloud depth without any fitting parameters. Finally, a Froude number based on the bubble terminal velocity, the cloud depth, and also the net void fraction is introduced to propose a simple criterion for the threshold between the inertia-dominated and buoyancy-dominated regimes.
