Abstract

Abstract This paper reported a dynamic model of bubble expansion for predicting the geometry of the entrapped bubble by considering the elasto-vicsco-plastic rheology properties of the yield stress fluid and the resistance caused by the ambient yielded region. The yielded region caused by the bubble expansion or collapse is obtained by the Von Mises criterion and the yielded region caused by the buoyancy is obtained by the experiment data. The model can predict the volume and the geometry of the entrapped bubbles in various fluid rheology properties and surface tension. By comparing the bubble geometries obtained from the model and the experiment, the results show that the equivalent bubble radius error is less than 0.89%, the discrepancies of the maximum width and length for the bubble are less than 4.86% and 3.50%.
