Model to Simulate Bubble Size Distribution

APPENDIX I l.l MULTIGROUP MODEL TO SIMULATE BUBBLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION 

FIGURE I I A. I Multigroup model to describe bubble population. 

Notes (I) Lower and upper limits are inclusive in a particular group and are integer (multiples of mass of minimum bubble). This means, Lg = Ug-i + I. (2) Central index associated with the group, Ig is defined as algebraic mean of lower and upper limits. 

FIGURE I IA.2 Predicted equilibrium bubble size distribution at three values of turbulent energy dissipation rates. Effect of energy dissipation rate on (a) group mass fraction and (b) total surface area.
