Yield stress dependency on the evolution of bubble populations generated in consolidated soft sediments

Retention of hydrogen bubbles within consolidated soft sediments represents an important safety consideration for the management of legacy nuclear wastes due to the potential for acute gas release. Gas retention sufficiently reduced the bulk density of intermediate yield stress (

Gas retention sufficiently reduced the bulk density of intermediate yield stress (&lt;800 Pa) sediments for the bed to become buoyant with respect to an aqueous supernatant, potentially inducing Rayleigh‐Taylor instabilities. X‐ray computed tomography revealed that beds of 7–234 Pa yield stress retained very similar, steady state size distributions of mature bubbles, limited to 9 mm equivalent spherical diameter, for long residence times.

At 1112 Pa yield stress, large bubbles of up to 20 mm diameter were observed to grow through induction of lateral cracks, facilitating gas transport to the bed periphery, thereby limiting the maximum void fraction, while non‐homogeneous gas generation promoted the formation of low density regions rich with microbubbles which similarly provide pathways for gas release. © 2017 The Authors AIChE Journal published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. on behalf of American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J , 63: 3728–3742, 2017</description><identifier>ISSN: 0001-1541</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1547-5905</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1002/aic.15731</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>New York: American Institute of Chemical Engineers</publisher><subject>Bubbles ; Bulk density ; Buoyancy ; Computed tomography ; Consolidation ; Gas transport ; Nuclear engineering ; Nuclear safety ; Populations ; Radioactive wastes ; Residential density ; Retention ; Safety management ; Sediments ; Steady state ; Void fraction ; Yield ; Yield strength ; Yield stress</subject><ispartof>AIChE journal, 2017-09, Vol.63 (9), p.3728-3742</ispartof><rights>2017.
