Numerical simulation of creaming and foam formation in aerated liquid with population balance modeling

A new approach for simulating the formation of foam in aerated liquid is proposed. Foam is considered as a separate phase which is comprised of a mixture of air and liquid. A computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model has been developed for the simulation of creaming and formation of foam in aerated liquid using the proposed approach. The model accounts for the formation of foam due to transformation of both air and liquid into foam and it is …
