Abstract :

When a body accelerates in a fluid, an additional force to the drag and buoyancy must be added to the general equation of the conservation of momentum for that body. This force takes the following form (cmpV du/dt)where Cm is the virtual mass coefficient, p is the density of fluid, v is the volume of the body, and du/dt is its acceleration. Everybody should have its unique value of Cm, so for a constant-volume spherical body (solid or fluid) Cm=1/2 The present author derived the following equation for the Cm of the ellipsoidal bubble Cm ={2[1-0.103we2]3[1+0.093We2]2[1-0.1875We2]}-1 Here We is the Weber number. As we → 0 (the case of the spherical bubble); cm → 1/2. The spherical-cap bubble has also its own value of cm, that was shown by the author to be a function of the eccentricity, which is defined as the ratio of the width to height of the spherical-cap bubble. A value of 5 was found for the cm of the rotating spherical particle in fluids. One of the main outcomes of the inclusion of the cm into the numerical solution of the general equation of the conservation of momentum, is that the numerical solution of this equation converges without numerical instability. The of a growing and collapsing bubble were derived by the author. The solution was validated by their asymptotic approach to the limit of the single constant-volume bubble. During the author?s stay at Georgia Tech, a new value for the cm was obtained.
