Detailed Description

Model of Luo (1993). The coalescence rate is calculated by.

$\frac{\pi}{4} (d_i + d_j)^2 u_{ij} \mathrm{exp} \left[ - C_1 \frac {[0.75(1 + \xi_{ij}^2)(1 + \xi_{ij}^3)]^{1/2}} {(\rho_d/\rho_c + C_{vm})^{1/2} (1 + \xi_{ij})^3} \left(\frac{\rho_c d_i u_{ij}^2}{\sigma}\right)^{1/2} \right]\,,$

where

$u_{ij} = \sqrt{\beta} (\epsilon_c d_i)^{1/3} \sqrt{1 + \xi_{ij}^{-2/3}}$

is the mean approach velocity of the bubbles and

$\xi_{ij} = d_i/d_j$

their size ratio.

	=	Diameter of bubble i [m]
	=	Diameter of bubble j [m]
$u_{ij}$	=	Mean approach velocity [m/s]
$\xi_{ij}$	=	Bubble size ratio [-]
$\rho_d$	=	Density of dispersed phase [kg/m3]
$\rho_c$	=	Density of continuous phase [kg/m3]
$\sigma$	=	Surface tension [N/m]
$C_{vm}$	=	Virtual mass coefficient [-]
	=	Coefficient [-]
$\beta$	=	Coefficient [-]
$\epsilon_c$	=	Continuous phase turbulent dissipation rate [m2/s3]
