Abstract
Influence of background rotation on the behavior of a bubble plume in a tank is investigated experimentally, purposing a flow control for large LNG container subject to the Earth rotation. We used the rotating tank facility in University of Warwick, and found a single air-chimney stabilized in the case of point-source of air injection. In contrast, the line-source bubble injection resists to the chimney formation and keeps planer curtain like structure. We also found eccentric oscillation of bubble plume in the disk-source type of injection.
