Model of Prince and Blanch (1990). The coalescence rate is calculated by.
\[ \left( \theta_{ij}^{T} + \theta_{ij}^{B} + \theta_{ij}^{LS} \right) \lambda_{ij} \]
with the coalescence efficiency
\[ \lambda_{ij} = \mathrm{exp} \left( - \sqrt{\frac{r_{ij}^3 \rho_c}{16 \sigma}} \mathrm{ln} \left(\frac{h_0}{h_f}\right) \epsilon_c^{1/3}/r_{ij}^{2/3} \right)\;, \]
the turbulent collision rate
\[ \theta_{ij}^{T} = C_1 \pi (d_i + d_j)^{2} \epsilon_c^{1/3} \sqrt{d_{i}^{2/3} + d_{j}^{2/3}}\;, \]
and the buoyancy-driven collision rate
\[ \theta_{ij}^{B} = S_{ij} \left| u_{ri} - u_{rj} \right|\;, \]
where the rise velocity of bubble i is calculated by
\[ u_{ri} = \sqrt{2.14 \sigma / \left(\rho_c d_i \right) + 0.505 g d_i}\;, \]
the equivalent radius by
\[ r_{ij} = \left( \frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_j} \right)^{-1} \]
and the collision cross sectional area by
\[ S_{ij} = \frac{\pi}{4} \left(d_i + d_j\right)^{2}\;. \]
Note that in equation 2, the bubble radius has been substituted by the bubble diameter. Also the expression for the equivalent radius r_ij (equation 19 in the paper of Prince and Blanch (1990)) was corrected. The collision rate contribution due to laminar shear in the continuous phase is currently neglected.
| \( \theta_{ij}^{T} \) | = | Turbulent collision rate [m3/s] |
