Abstract This article presents both an experimental and numerical study of both stationary and sliding bubbles in a horizontal duct with forced convection heat
transfer. An experimental facility was fabricated using a fully transparent, electrically-heated test section in which the bubble dynamics and the thermal
field on the heated wall can be acquired using high-speed cameras and Thermochromic Liquid Crystals (TLC). Experiments were conducted using the
working fluid HFE 7000 for two different turbulent Reynolds numbers. The experimental temperature field in the span-wise direction is first compared
to the numerically calculated temperature field of a bubble… More >
