CFD Simulation of the Interaction Between a Macrobubble and a Dilute Dispersion of Oil Droplets in Quiescent Water

Wastewater generation is a growing concern in the preliminary treatment of heavy crude oil and tar sand. The separation of fine oil droplets from water by flotation is a critical process in the production of bitumen from tar sand. The flow structure from a high-resolution simulation of a single air...
