Scale separation and dependence of entrainment bubble-size distribution in free-surface turbulence

© The Author(s) 2019. We consider the size spectrum of entrained bubbles under strong free-surface turbulence (SFST). We investigate the entrainment bubble-size spectrum per unit (mean) interface area, , with dimension length, and develop a physical/mechanistic model for through energy arguments. Th...
