- Understanding bubble growth and detachment phenomena is key for a variety of domestic and industrial processes. This paper is significant because it develops and applies a custom, improved VOF solver that is able to accurately predict bubble growth and detachment characteristics. A wide parametric numerical analysis identified and quantified for the first time the effect of variable gravity level, and led to new correlations for the bubble detachment time and diameter with respect to the Eötvös number. This research is a key outcome of FP7 grant 324313, and underpinned a successful EPSRC grant proposal (EP/P013112/1).
