Abstract

This paper concerns with experimental measurement of bubble-bubble interaction in a free-rising bubbly flow using three-dimensional Particle Tracking Velocimetry (3-D PTV). An accurate labeling method is employed to measure correctly the center of gravity for individual bubble so that the relative velocity vector in a swarm of bubbles is captured with high statistic reliability. The bubble-bubble interaction is discussed for the range of 5<Re<75, at which horizontal repulsive, vertical attractive, and oblique rotational motions are detected quantitatively.
