โฆ Synopsis
A new boundary element model for simulating the interaction of one or more bubbles and a free surface is described. An important feature of this model is the utilization of a nine-noded Lagrangian interpolation for the computation of surface characteristics and material velocity. Solid angles on the free surface are computed via a direct approach, as opposed to the indirect approach usually employed for closed surfaces. The evolution of the bubble is followed until the point before the reentrant jet impacts on the opposite wall of the bubble. The results of the 3D code are compared against those of a one-dimensional Rayleigh-Plesset model and an axisymmetric code. New results are presented for the interaction of two bubbles and a free surface, where fully three-dimensional features are expected.

Gas fluidization is generally associated with the formation of bubbles that critically influence the performance of fluidized bed processes (FBPs). Therefore, in the design, simulation and operation of FBPs, it is very essential to know the behaviour of the bubbles at the free surface. The size and
## Abstract The hydrostatic pressure assumption has been widely used in studying water movements in rivers, lakes, estuaries, and oceans. While this assumption is valid in many cases and has been successfully used in numerous studies, there are many cases where this assumption is questionable. This
