Optical Flow Measurement Around a Rising Bubble

Bubbly flows are ubiquitous in many systems and also fascinating from a fundamental perspective. Injecting bubbles into a liquid is often used to enhance mixing which leads to improvement in heat and/or mass transfer characteristics of the flow. This finds many applications in chemical industry, energy sector, and even biomedical engineering. This internship provides an exciting opportunity for developing a flow visualization technique that allows the examination of the mixing enabled by a rising bubble as flow passes by bubbles in a bubbly flow. The intern will have access to some unique flow loop and flow visualization facilities that are not available in her home institution, and get a chance to be mentored by the experts in the field in a topnotch university (Seoul National University is ranked 36 in the QS World University Rankings). The results will be disseminated a conference presentation, if not a journal paper.
