The dynamic contact angle model is applied in the formation process of a series of bubbles from Period-I regime to Period-II regime by using the VOF method on a 2D axisymmetric domain. In the first process of the current research, the dynamic contact angle model is validated by comparing the numerical results to the experimental data. Good agreement in terms of bubble shape and bubble detachment time is observed from a lower flow rate Q = 150.8 cm3/min (Re = 54.77, Period-I regime) to a higher flow rate Q = 603.2 cm3/min (Re = 219.07, Period-III regime). The comparison between the dynamic contact angle model and the static contact angle model is also performed. It is observed that the static contact angle model can obtain similar results as the dynamic contact angle model only for smaller gas flow rates (Q ≤ 150.8 cm3/min and Re ≤ 54.77)). For higher gas flow rates, the static contact angle model cannot produce good results as the dynamic contact angle model and has larger relative errors in terms of bubble detachment time and bubble shape.
