Detailed Description

Model of Lehr et al. (2002). The breakup rate is calculated by.

\[ 0.5 d_j^{*^{5/3}} \mathrm{exp}\left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{d_j^{*^{3}}}\right) \frac{6}{\pi^{3/2}d_i^{*^{3}}} \mathrm{exp} \left( - \frac{9}{4}\left[\mathrm{ln}\left(2^{2/5} d_i^{*}\right)\right]^{2} \right) \left( 1 + \mathrm{erf} \left[ \frac{3}{2}\mathrm{ln} \left(2^{1/15} d_j^{*}\right) \right] \right)^{-1} \frac{1}{L^{3}T} \]

with the time scale

\[ T = \left(\frac{\sigma}{\rho_c}\right)^{2/5} \frac{1}{\epsilon_c^{3/5}} \]

the dimensionless diameter

\[ d^{*} = \frac{d}{L} \]

and the length scale

\[ L = \left(\frac{\sigma}{\rho_c}\right)^{3/5} \frac{1}{\epsilon_c^{2/5}} \]

$ \rho_c $ = Density of continuous phase [kg/m^3]
$ \sigma $ = Surface tension [N/m]
$ \epsilon_c $ = Continuous phase turbulent dissipation rate [m^2/s^3]
$ d_i $ = Diameter of daughter bubble i [m]
$ d_j $ = Diameter of mother bubble j [m]
