Taylor bubbles are a feature of the slug flow regime in gas-liquid flows in vertical pipes. Their dynamics exhibits a number of transitions such as symmetry-breaking in the bubble shape and wake when rising in downward-flowing and stagnant…

Modeling of a dense spray regime using an Euler-Lagrange approach is challenging because of local high volume loading. A cluster of droplets, that are assumed subgrid, can lead to locally low void fractions for the fluid phase. Under these…
