【Abstract】 Finite element method was applied in the simulation of bubble growth in isothermal liquid in this paper. And the "cell" model was used to describe the bubble growth process. It was supposed that the gas in the bubble was ideal gas,and the foaming agent concentration at the bubble surface obeyed Henry’s law. Power law constitutive equation was adopted to describe the rheology of polymer. Dimensionless control equations were obtained and the convective-diffusion equation was solved with Galerkin method. Backward Euler scheme was used to discretize time in advection-diffusion equation and grids were remeshed after each incremental time step to assure the accuracy of numerical results. The distribution regularity of foaming agent concentration in polymer was obtained and the influences of characteristic quantities on bubble growth were studied.更多还原
