Bubbles rising in a fluid

Jean‐Marc Vanden‐Broeck

Abstract

This paper reviews the effect of surface tension on three different free surface flow problems. Each flow is characterized by a continuum of solutions when surface tension is neglected. When surface tension is taken into account there is a discrete set of solutions. As the surface tension approaches zero all these solutions reduce to a unique solution. The corresponding free surface profiles are found to be in good agreement with experimental data.
