The interaction of small bubbles in an aerated tank. (a) The Lennard-Jones 12-6 pair potential. (b) Computed bubble-like structure in an aerated tank at the Reynolds number of 29500. (c) A different view of (b). (d) The denoised version of (c). The length of the bubble is approximately 1 cm and its height is 0.65 cm. (e) Configuration of a three bubble-like structure in an aerated tank. (f) The bubbles in (e) coalesce to form a larger bubble after 0.3 sec. (g) The denoised version of (f).
