Abstract:Bubble curtains are multiphase line plumes that are used to reduce buoyancy-driven flows between two water zones at different densities. They are similar to air curtains, plane turbulent jets, that are installed in doorways of buildings between two climatically different environments. In this study, we establish a formal analogy between bubble curtains and air curtains and unify the two frameworks for their description that had previously been used. By means of small-scale laboratory experiments conducted in a… Show more
