Abstract

The vortex microbubble generator relies on the internal strong swirling flow that will make the air from inlet be stirred into tiny bubbles, and then flow mixed with the water from the outlet. Although the structure of the vortex microbubble generator is simple, the sizes of the structure parameters, such as the diameters of inlet and outlet, have important influence on the bubbling performance of the microbubble generator. These important parameters are obtained by the traditional experimental method, which must waste much manpower, material, time and money. In this paper, the computer simulation analysis is used for the internal flow fields of the vortex microbubble generator. The structure parameters are selected for optimal design and the influences such as high cost, much time etc. of the experimental method are avoided.
