Influence of the free surface on hydrodynamics in a bubble column

In this paper, the influence of the free surface on hydrodynamics is investigated numerically for a pilot-scale bubble column. The free surface is modelled by means of the Volume of Fluid method (VOF), whereas the gas entities are represented by means of the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) meth...
