Review of bubble dynamics on charged liquid-gas flow

When a fluid is subject to an electric field, it usually processes unique features compared to the conventional fluid that arises from coupling between charged particles and fluid interface. Based on this commonality, we defined the concept of "charged multiphase flow"and constructed a generalized charged multiphase flow system using the "Tai Chi Diagram"to analyze the properties and features of different study objects, with an emphasis on the bubble dynamics on the charged liquid-gas flow object, covering the processes of bubble generation, motion, and interaction, as well as the important dynamic behaviors, involved such as bubble deformation, coalescence, and breakup. Furthermore, in light of the special plasma-liquid interface phenomenon formed by the ionization of the gas/vapor phase in the liquid phase in strong electric fields, the traditional gas-liquid-solid three-phase flow system is expanded into a broader range of multiphase flow systems involving plasma, which enriches the theoretical and frontier scientific problems of the multiphase flow. In addition, technical innovations, remaining work, and future trends in the development of the charged liquid-gas flow, and their potential applications are discussed.
