Based on the front-tracking method (FTM), the movement of a single bubble that rose freely in a transverse ridged tube was simulated to analyze the influence of a contractive channel on the movement of bubbles. The influence of a symmetric contractive channel on the shape, speed, and trajectory of the bubbles was analyzed by contrasting the movement with bubbles in a noncontractive channel. As the research indicates, the bubbles became more flat when they move close to the contractive section of the channel, and the bubbles become less flat when passing through the contractive section. This effect becomes more obvious with an increase in the contractive degree of the channel. The symmetric contractive channel can make the bubbles first decelerate and later accelerate, and this effect is deeply affected by Reynolds number (Re) and Eötvös number (Eo).

The numerical simulation and experimental validations of the growth and departure of a single bubble on a horizontal heated surface during pool boiling under reduced gravity conditions have been performed here. A finite difference scheme is used to solve the equations governing mass, momentum and energy in the vapor liquid phases. The vapor-liquid interface is captured by level set method, which is modified to include the influence of phase change at the liquid-vapor interface. The effects of reduced gravity conditions, wall superheat and liquid subcooling and system pressure on the bubble diameter and growth period have been studied. The simulations are also carried out under both constant and time-varying gravity conditions to benchmark the solution with the actual experimental conditions that existed during the parabolic flights of KC-135 aircraft. In the experiments, a single vapor bubble was produced on an artificial cavity, 10 μm in diameter microfabricated on the polished silicon wafer, the wafer was heated electrically from the back with miniature strain gage type heating elements in order to control the nucleation superheat. The bubble growth period and the bubble diameter predicted from the numerical simulations have been found to compare well with the data from experiments.
