Air in oil is often discussed only once the symptoms become visible: foam, noise, instability, efficiency loss, or unexpected stress in the system. But the real engineering challenge starts earlier: understanding how oil-air interaction behaves, where it becomes critical, and how it should be interpreted.

In this joint webinar, EnginSoft and deepfluid / Smart Bubble System (SBS) bring together two complementary perspectives: simulation-based understanding of multiphase fluid behavior and direct optical observation of real bubble behavior.

What You Will Learn

By joining this webinar, you will leave with:

• A clearer framework for thinking about air in oil
  Understand why air in oil should not be treated as one single phenomenon and why interpretation depends on context.
• A better understanding of where simulation adds value
  Learn how simulation can help reveal oil-air interaction, flow behavior, critical zones, and design-related effects earlier in the engineering process.
• A better understanding of where direct measurement adds value
  See how direct optical observation can help make real bubble behavior more visible, classifiable, and easier to interpret under real operating conditions.
• A more connected engineering view
  Understand how simulation and measurement together can support troubleshooting, validation, and better engineering decisions.
• New questions to apply in your own projects
  Leave with a sharper perspective on where blind spots may still exist in your current workflows.

Webinar Agenda

• Why air in oil remains a blind spot
  Why the topic is often underestimated and where traditional interpretation falls short.
• What simulation can reveal
  How multiphase simulation helps explain oil-air interaction, flow paths, and critical design-related effects.
• What direct measurement can reveal
  How direct optical measurement helps make real bubble behavior visible, classifiable, and interpretable under operating conditions.
• Where both methods complement each other
  How simulation and direct observation can work together across development, testing, and validation.
• Live Q&A
  Discussion with attendees on applications, challenges, and engineering implications.
