| Sumario: | In the motion of two spherical bubbles rising side by side, the bubbles are known to attract each other at a high Reynolds number (<i>Re</i> = <i>ρUd</i>/<i>μ</i>). Furthermore, spherical bubbles kiss and bounce under certain conditions; however, deformable bubbles repel each other without kissing. This paper experimentally and numerically presents the flow structures and shape of the nonkissing repulsion of deformable bubbles. For the experimental analysis, we organized bubble behaviors by Galilei number (<i>Ga</i> = <i>ρg</i><sup>1/2</sup><i>d</i><sup>3/2</sup>/<i>μ</i>) and Bond number (<i>Bo</i> = <i>ρgd</i><sup>2</sup>/<i>σ</i>). The bubbles repelled each other without kissing near the unstable critical curve of a single bubble. The curvature inside the gap, which is similar to the shape of a zigzag behavior bubble, was large. For the numerical analysis, the velocity of the equatorial plane inside the gap was larger due to the potential interaction, although the velocity behind was the opposite due to the strengthened vorticity generated at the surface. Furthermore, the double-threaded wake emerged behind the interacting bubbles, and it showed that the rotation direction was repulsion regardless of whether the bubbles attracted or repelled each other. The streamline behind the bubbles in the 2D plane was from the outside to the inside. |
