On the electrostatic field in expansion dynamics of gas bubbles

Abstract

The work is devoted to the study of the dynamics of the formation of bubbles in a gas-liquid system taking into account the potential difference. The electrical conductivity of the fluid is determined depending on the concentration of the electrolyte and, accordingly, the electrostatic field that occurs when the fluid flows. The effect of the electrostatic field on the bubble formation dynamics has shown that the radius of the gas bubbles and the dynamics of its expansion, formed by the pressure difference, can be regulated by the potential difference parameter. Depending on the electrolytic concentration, the electric conductivity of the liquid and, accordingly, the electrostatic field arising from friction in fluid are determined. The effect of the electrostatic field on the dynamics of the bubble formation has shown that the radius of gas bubbles and expansion dynamics formed by the pressure drop can be regulated by the potential difference parameter. It is presented that one of the main factors affecting the flow of two-phase fluids is the nature of the liquid phase and the concentration of electrolyte added. The results of regulation of the bubble formation dynamics in the gas-liquid system via the electrostatic field and a number of physical parameters can be applied in the oil and gas industry, chemical processes, biomechanics.
