Abstract
The influence of buoyancy of an isolated air bubble is limited to the narrow region of about 3 times bubble radius from the center of the bubble. However, from the viewpoint of mass transfer, the interaction between the liquid-phase motion and the bubble interface motion is important to control the mass transfer across the interface. In the present study, we discuss the interaction between the interface motion of a bubble of about 3mm diameter and its surrounding liquid motion using LDA.
