Numerical Simulation of the Interaction between a Large Bubble and a Boundary Layer

In this research, numerical simulation of the interaction between a large bubble and a boundary layer, considering various parameters in a low Reynolds number flow, have been studied. This work can be a start for more complicated tasks with higher Reynolds numbers. The considered flow has been solved using the well-known front tracking method. The results indicate that the wall shear stresses considerably depend on the bubble location. Also,when bubbles are inside the boundary layer, the overall shear stresses and the skin friction drag increase.
