Measurements of bubble size and distribution in the surface layer of the sea, wind speed, and variation of ocean environments were made continually over a four-day period in an experiment conducted in the South Sea of Korea during 17-20 September 2007. Theoretical background of bubble population model indicates that bubble population is a function of the depth, range and wind speed and bubble effects on sound speed shows that sound speed varies with frequency. Observational evidence exhibited that the middle size bubble population fit the model very well, however, smaller ones can not follow the model probably due to their short lifetime. Meanwhile, there is also a hysteresis effect of void fraction. Observational evidence also indicates that strong changes in sound speed are produced by the presence of swarms of micro bubbles especially from 7 kHz to 50 kHz, and calculation results are consistent with the measured data in the high frequency band, but inconsistent in the low frequency band. Based on the measurements of the sound speed and high frequency transmission configuration in the bubble layer, we present an estimation of underwater acoustic channel capacity in the bubble layer.

본 논문에서는 선박 수중방사소음 저감을 위한 에어마스커의 기포크기 추정 모델을 제시하였다. 제시된 모델은 Rayleigh의 제트 불안정 모델과 연속 조건을 이용하여 유도된 기존 모델에 공기의 제트유속을 도입함으로써 저속유동 조건에서 발산하는 단점을 보완 하였다. 공기의 제트유속은 유동이 없는 경우 기포의 크기를 이용하여 추정하였다. 유동이 없는 매질에서 기포의 크기는 분사된 공기의 레이놀즈수를 기반으로 층류구간, 천이구간, 그리고 난류구간으로 나누어 경험적 방법으로 추정 하였다. 제시된 기포크기 추정 모델은 Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) 해석결과 그리고 기존 문헌의 실험결과와 비교하여 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 끝으로, 음향 역산법을 활용하여 대형터널에서 수행된 에어마스커 공기분사 실험의 계측된 삽입손실로부터 기포의 분포를 추정하였다. 역산된 기포분포와 기포크기 추정 모델의 추정 결과를 비교하였다.

Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is a solid-liquid separation process that uses fine rising bubbles to remove particles in water. Most of particle-bubble collision occurs in the DAF contact zone. This initial contact considered by the researchers to play a important role for DAF performance. It is hard to make up conceptual model through simple mass balance for estimating collision efficiency in the contact zone because coupled behavior of the solid-liquid-gas phase in DAF system is 90 complicate. In this study, 2-phase(gas-liquid) flow equations for the conservation of mass, momentum and turbulence quantities were solved using an Eulerian-Eulerian approach based on the assumption that very small particle is applied in the DAF system. For the modeling of turbulent 2-phase flow in the reactor, the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ mode I(liquid phase) and zero-equation(gas phase) were used in CFD code because it is widely accepted and the coefficients for the model are well established. Particle-bubble collision efficiency was calculated using predicted turbulent energy dissipation rate and gas volume fraction. As the result of this study, the authors concluded that bubble size and recycle ratio play important role for flow pattern change in the reactor. Predicted collision efficiency using CFD showed good agreement with measured removal efficiency in the contact zone. Also, simulation results indicated that collision efficiency at 15% recycle ratio is higher than that of 10% and showed increasing tendency of the collision efficiency according to the decrease of the bubble size.
