Measurement of the chaotic gas bubble formation using LabVIEW

Abstract

The article presents the results of research on the prevalence of deterministic chaos during the formation of gas bubbles. In order to measure the time of the formation of gas bubbles a test bench was built. The research allowed us to determine the bifurcation diagrams for cylindrical and conical nozzles. Bifurcation occurs and it causes that we can see two points for the same gas stream. The system loses stability gradually until the appearance of chaos, i.e., the total instability of the system.[b]Keywords[/b]: deterministic chaos, bifurcation, bubbles
