When the bubble moves in the vicinity of a free surface, the movement will be affected by the buoyancy and the Bjerknes effect. Blake and Gibson proposed the criterion which determined the motion direction of the jet and the dynamics of bubble. They proposed the jet wouldn’t be formed in the condition that . Based on the potential flow theory, boundary element method (BEM) is used to calculate three typical examples in this paper in order to study the dynamics of the bubble under the combined action of the Bjerknes effect of the free surface and the buoyancy. It is found out during the analysis that the Blake criterion is applicable to predict the conditions that and .

Abstract Based on the potential flow theory and traditional boundary element method (BEM), Taylor expansion boundary element method (TEBEM) is introduced in this paper for the prediction of the flow field around ship, as a result, hull gesture and pressure distribution on hull surface are obtained. By this method, dipole strength of every field point is expanded in Taylor expansion, so that approximately continuous hull and free surface boundary condition could be achieved. To close the new equation system, the boundary condition of tangent velocity in every control point is introduced. With the simultaneous solving of hull boundary condition and free surface condition, the disturbance velocity potential could be obtained. The present method is used to predict the flow field and hull gesture of Wigley parabolic hull, Series 60 and KVLCC2 models. To validate the numerical model for full form ship, the wave profile, the computed hull gesture and hull surface pressure of KVLCC2 model are compared with experimental results.
