Abstract:

This dataset provides results from theoretical and numerical analysis of bubble plumes in a stratified environment. This study performs scaling analysis of the classical integral model for bubble plume, and focuses on the influence of source parameters on plume dynamics such as plume peel height and intrusion layer height. Moreover, attempt on explaining the differences between experiments and theory is made at the end of the associated paper.

Purpose:

The dataset supports a paper submitted to PRF named "Bubble plumes in a stratified environment: Source parameters, intrusion height and neutral height".

Data Parameters and Units:

Variables h_p: plume peel height. h_n: plume neutral height. L_b: buoyancy dominated length scale. V_N: dimensionless bubble slip velocity. S: a source parameter representing the buoyancy dominated plume (S<<1) or momentum dominated plume (S>>1). Gamma: a source parameter representing relative strength of buoyancy flux to momentum flux. Units Mass: Kg Length: m Time: s (second)
