“…When putting water to a boil, it is previously silent and takes a while to boil. At a particular transition point (nucleate boil), bubbles form at the bottom of the pan, break off, and collapse before reaching the surface. , This kind of boiling can be properly defined as cavitations. This can also be a very noisy phase in the boiling method.…”

“…Cavitations are the pinging sound that a pot of water makes before reaching its full boiling point. Once it has reached a full boiling point, the vapor bubbles reach the surface, and therefore, the sound quality changes from a rattle to an additional gurgle …”

Global demand for energy is increasing day by day rapidly as a result of the population, industrial, and economic growth of developing countries, especially in emerging market economies. Hence, to meet this growing and continuing global crude oil demand, innovative enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques are required to emerge, and currently, implemented techniques need to be revisited and optimized to recover more residual oil trapped in the reservoirs. Among different chemicals, foam has good mobility control in the oil recovery method. Nowadays, the study on the stability of foam is an utmost interest for petroleum engineers to find a way to obtain stable foam for application in EOR. In this review, the basics of foam and its preparations, properties, application, and some special applications mainly in the oil industry have been depicted to convey an idea of the degree of foam research in EOR. Basically, this review will provide a detailed discussion on the applications of foam in oil recovery and some short ideas that can be applied in the near future for nanoparticle (NP)-assisted stable CO2 foam flooding in EOR. Increasing the NP concentration initially improved foam stability because a higher number of NPs participated in strengthening the gas bubble and initially increased oil recovery as a result of the formation of more stable foam. The polymer-coated, nanoclay–surfactant-stabilized foam and surface-modified silica nanoparticles have exceptional foaming ability and foam stability at high temperatures, making them suitable for the production from heavy oil reservoirs. Some other nanoparticles, like Al2O3, ZrO2, TiO2, Fe2O3, and NiO, have also been used for enhancing foam stability by preventing liquid drainage from lamella. Also, NP-stabilized CO2 foam flooding can enhance oil recovery by 10–15% after secondary recovery by creating a more homogeneous gas front for better mobility control.

“…During the simulation of multiple bubbles, it is found that the coverage of CO 2 bubbles in the anode−cathode gap is different, accounting for more in the air−water model (as shown in Figure 11). In the same year, Pham et al 140 studied the cavitation and bubble dynamics in liquid CO 2 near the critical point, and simulated the dynamic characteristics of CO 2 bubble rupture using a dynamic model. The results show that this model and the relevant experiment have a fair level of agreement.…”

Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) bubbles are common during carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) processes and have many impacts on water conservancy machinery, metallurgy, and the chemical industry. To explore the dynamic characteristics of CO 2 bubbles in different liquids in CCUS, the motion mechanism of CO 2 bubbles was integrated, and the effects of different liquid characteristics and different external conditions on the dynamic characteristics of CO 2 bubbles were classified and summarized. At the same time, the research progress of numerical simulation on CO 2 bubble dynamics is reviewed. Therefore, approaches and methods that can be further explored in theoretical analysis, experimental research, and numerical simulation of CO 2 bubble dynamics are proposed, which can provide reference and guidance for engineering practice, especially CCUS technologies.

“…The vapor kinetic equation considering the thermodynamic 2 Mathematical Problems in Engineering effect and quantitatively predicting the cavitation of liquid carbon dioxide near the critical point was also established. It was found that the thermodynamic boundary has an important effect on the bubble dynamics [13]. A cavitation model was set up to capture the heat transfer process during the collapse of the cavity bubbles, which provides a theoretical basis for calculating the local temperature, pressure, and heat transfer parameters during the collapse of the cavitation [14].…”

Two cavitation models with thermodynamic effects were established based on the Rayleigh-Plesset equation to predict accurately the cavitation characteristics in the high-temperature fluid. The evaporation and the condensation coefficient of the cavitation model were corrected. The cavitation flow of NACA0015 airfoil was calculated using the modified cavitation model, where the influence of the thermodynamic effects of airfoil cavitation was analyzed. The result showed that the pressure coefficient distribution and the bubble volume fraction simulated have the same tendency of Zwart-Gerber-Belamri model's result. According to the experimental data, the two models provide more accurate results. At the room temperature, the values of d V /d obtained by the two improved models are approximately equal. The difference between the two models' results increases gradually with the temperature increasing, but it is still small. The simulation results are consistent with the experimental data when the evaporation coefficient is 10 and 1. When the evaporation coefficient is 1, the bubble growth is inhibited, the volume fraction becomes lower, and the cavitation area becomes flat. As the temperature increases, the cavitation area and the bubble volume fraction at airfoil front edge become larger, showing that the temperature plays a "catalytic" role in the cavitation process.
