Abstract

This paper is devoted to the derivation of the equations of motion for the two separate phases in a dispersed bubbly liquid. A description of the concept of dispersed two-phase flow is presented on the bases of the theory of micromorphic materials. The bubbly liquid is considered as a mixture of a micromorphic fluid representing the dispersed phase, bubbles, and a classical Newtonian liquid as the continuous phase. The momentum equations for each phase are established from physical arguments. Definitions and considerations are presented relating to pressures and stress tensors that are encountered in the description of dispersed two-phase flow. The relations between local phenomena and continuum variables are the subject of extensive discussion. In this context the collisional forces between the bubbles and other interaction forces are
