What is the right physics for my problem?

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello everyone,

I need to model a two-phase flow (liquid with dispersed micron-sized bubbles with a size distribution) flowing through a tube with porous walls. The porous wall is supposed to be hydrophobic and therefore only bubbles may pass through the wall when the external surface of the wall is subjected to vacuum. This arrangement has the objective of separating the bubbles from the liquid phase. The vacuum power for separating the bubbles is the important parameter for us.

Does anyone knows which physics are appropriate for solving this problem? I was first thinking of the laminar bubbly flow but I am not sure if it can correctly address the gas-solid and gas-liquid-solid interaction.

Any advice or recommendation is highly appreciated
