The prediction of bubble terminal velocities from wave theory
Abstract
The terminal velocity of bubbles in low viscosity liquids of infinite extent is known to undergo a marked transition in behavior at an equivalent radius in the order of 0.07 cm. This transition is apparently due to a change from viscous to inviscid flow. It is also known that the inviscid flow regime can be further subdivided into surface tension‐ (Weber number) and buoyancy‐ (Froude number) dominated regimes. This behavior of rising bubbles is strikingly similar to the behavior of surface waves propagated over deep water. The analogy is found to be in quantitative agreement when the wavelength is suitably interpreted in terms of bubble dimensions. The inference of this analogy is that bubbles may be thought of as interfacial disturbances whose rate of propagation is governed by the well‐known laws of wave motion.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
