Abstract

Using a method due to Davies & Taylor (1950), a simple model is employed to derive the velocity of a two-dimensional gas bubble rising in liquid along the axis of a channel of finite width. The asymptotes of the solution agree well with previous results and an experimental investigation confirms the effect of channel width on bubble velocity. Measured values of velocity are, however, approximately 9% higher than theoretical values due to the three-dimensional nature of the real flow.
