2- Abstract (example)
ABSTRACT:
The technique of using a surface flow generated by the
bubble plume is utilized as one of effective ways to control and
collect the surface floating substances in naval systems, lakes, seas,
rivers, oceans, as well as in various kinds of engineering processes
handling a free surface. In the past, however, the detailed
mechanism of the surface flow generation process has not been
measured. The motivation of this paper is the demand to know the
characteristics of the surface flow, which depends on the gas flow
rate, the bubble size, and the internal two-phase flow structure of
the bubble plume. In this paper, the two-dimensional flow analysis
based on Eulerrian-Lagrangian model and the particle tracking
velocimetry measurement have carried out in order to elucidate the
surface flow generation process in detail.

4- Introduction (example)
A bubble plume (which is one of typical bubbly flows) is
observed in various engineering disciplines, e.g. in industrial,
material, chemical, mechanical, and environmental applications.
The following systems using the bubble plume were discussed in
several literatures. Taylor[1] introduced that bubble-breakwaters
were operated by means of a surface jet produced by a bubble
plume. Jones[2] mentioned that prevention of clean surface of
rivers or lakes from freezing over, oil pollution, and underwater-
explosion damage were possible by using a bubble plume. Marks
and Cargo[3] mentioned that bubble plumes were also available
for keeping swimming areas free from slow-moving objects such
as sea nettles. Another interest in bubble plumes arises in the
consequences of context of rectifying oil-well blowout.

6- Conclusion (Concluding Remarks) (Example)

The detailed structure of the surface flow generation
process induced by a bubble plume is investigated by
using flow visualization and image processing including
the PIV measurements. The measurement of the
averaged surface flow velocity is introduced in detail.
The flow structure is sensitively modulated by the
bubble generation conditions (gas flow rate and bubble
size). The main results can be summarized as follows:

6- Conclusion (Concluding Remarks)

1- The velocity of the surface flow induced by the bubble plume
in the vicinity of the free surface is larger and stronger than that
in other regions.
2- The width of the upward flow induced by the bubble plume is
larger than the thickness of the surface flow.
3- The highest kinetic energy is generated in the center of the
bubble plume and in the area of the surface flow where the flow
changes its orientation from the vertical into the horizontal
direction.
4- High vorticity distribution, high shear strain rate and high
shear stress rate are generated by the surface flow, which induced
by the bubble plume, and these phenomena appear in a layer
under the free surface.
