Summary on Grant Application Form
Important industrial and environmental processes, such as sediment resuspension by containers or oil rigs dumped into seas or heat transfer from walls during nucleate boiling, are controlled by the fluid transported by rigid bodies or bubbles moving towards or away from rigid boundaries. Through a series of novel experiments, the flow generated by bodies impacting rigid walls or bubbles moving away from porous layers will be studied. The flow generated by bodies or bubbles moving near a rigid boundaries (and in the presence of a mean ambient flow) will be measured and its effect on resuspension and fluid transport away from the wall examined. New mathematical models of the resuspension process and dynamics of the resuspended material in a mean ambient stream will be formulated. New solutions for the flow around spherical bubbles moving away from porous layers will be derived .
