Through Euler/Euler large eddy simulation (LES) modeling, it is demonstrated that turbulent dispersion of bubbles can effectively indicate the impact of turbulent eddies on the bubble dynamics, i.e., the bubble oscillation behavior. This finding builds on previous work using the Euler/Lagrange LES modeling approach and leads to a significant improvement in predicting bubble lateral dispersion. Spatially filtered terms were proposed for the subgrid‐scale (SGS) turbulent dispersion and added mass stress force models, with a modification made to the SGS eddy viscosity to reflect bubble turbulent dispersion and oscillations. The proposed model substantially improves the prediction of bubble volume fraction distribution, bubble and liquid phase velocity profiles, the turbulent kinetic energy spectrum, and mass transfer.
