An analytical and experimental study of isothermal bubble motion through a liguid which is itself in motion is presented. Both analytical and experimental results are reported for the velocities and trajectories of oxygen bubbles moving through a liquid annulus which is rotating at angular velocities ranging from 500 to 1500 rpm. Results are presented for both distilled water and glycerin. The analytical prediction of the trajectories and velocities showed good agreement with the experimental data. It was found that the bubbles, which were injected at the exterior of the liquid annulus, spiralled inward rapidly and, due to the large pressure gradient in the radial direction, did not reach a constant or terminal velocity.

ABSTRACTSingle bubble behavior inside a rotating liquid-filled sphere is studied both experimentally and theoretically. In the limit of small values of the Taylor number, a quasi-static theoretical description of the motion of the bubble is developed. The analytical result thus obtained is compared with experiment and predicts the bubble trajectory as well as its asymptotic location which, in the presence of gravity, is not exactly on the axis of rotation.
