Detailed Description

Model of Luo and Svendsen (1996). The breakup rate is calculated by.

\[ C_4 \alpha_c \left(\frac{\epsilon_c}{d_j^2}\right)^{1/3} \int\limits_{\xi_{min}}^{1} \frac{\left(1 + \xi\right)^{2}}{\xi^{11/3}} \mathrm{exp} \left( - \frac{12c_f\sigma}{\beta\rho_c\epsilon_c^{2/3}d_j^{5/3}\xi^{11/3}} \right) \mathrm{d} \xi \]

where

\[ c_f = \left(\frac{v_i}{v_j}\right)^{2/3} + \left(1 - \frac{v_i}{v_j}\right)^{2/3} - 1 \]

\[ \xi_{min} = \frac{\lambda_{min}}{d_j}\,, \]

and

\[ \lambda_{min} = C_5 \eta\,. \]

The integral in the first expression is solved by means of incomplete Gamma functions as given by Bannari et al. (2008):

\[ \frac{3}{11 b^{8/11}} \left( \left[\Gamma(8/11, b) - \Gamma(8/11, t_{m})\right] + 2b^{3/11} \left[\Gamma(5/11, b) - \Gamma(5/11, t_{m})\right] + b^{6/11} \left[\Gamma(2/11, b) - \Gamma(2/11, t_{m})\right] \right) \]

where

\[ b = \frac{12c_f\sigma}{\beta\rho_c\epsilon_c^{2/3}d_j^{5/3}} \]

and

\[ t_{min} = b \xi_{min}^{-11/3}\,. \]

Note that in the code, the upper incomplete gamma function is expressed as

\[ \Gamma(a,z) = Q(a,z) \Gamma(a) \]

$ \alpha_c $ = Void fraction of continuous phase [-]
$ \epsilon_c $ = Turbulent dissipation rate of continuous phase [m^2/s^3]
$ d_j $ = Diameter of mother bubble j [m^3]
$ v_i $ = Volume of daughter bubble i [m^3]
$ v_j $ = Volume of mother bubble j [m^3]
$ \xi $ = Integration variable [-]
$ \xi_{min} $ = Lower bound of integral [-]
$ c_f $ = Increase coefficient of surface area [-]
$ \sigma $ = Surface tension [N/m]
$ \rho_c $ = Density of continuous phase [kg/m^3]
$ \eta $ = Kolmogorov length scale [m]
$ \Gamma(a,z) $ = Upper incomplete gamma function
$ Q(a,z) $ = Regularised upper incomplete gamma function
$ \Gamma(a) $ = Gamma function
