Effects of power-law entrainment on bubble fragmentation cascades

This thesis considers the evolution of the bulk bubble-size distribution 𝑁(𝑎,𝑡) of large bubbles (Weber number 𝑊𝑒 >> 1) under free-surface entrainment described generally by an entrainment size distribution 𝐼(𝑎) with power-law slope 𝛾 and large-radius cutoff 𝑎ₘₐₓ. The focus is the interaction...
