Lock-exchange flow regimes under low air Froude number bubble curtains
Shravan K. R. Raaghav, Herman J. H. Clercx, Matias Duran-Matute
The flow and density field characteristics around a bubble curtain in a laboratory scale lock-exchange setup are investigated using two-phase large-eddy simulations. We study the d…

Bubble curtains in a lock-exchange flow: the importance of transient dynamics in the curtain-driven regime
Shravan K. R. Raaghav, Ronald J. A. Driessen, Tom S. D. O'Mahoney +3
Bubble curtains are line bubble plumes that are used to mitigate saltwater intrusion in ship locks. When the lock gate that separates saline seawater from fresh river water is open…
