Abstract

The motion of single large liquid bubbles (exhibiting micropolar behaviour) surrounded by a liquid under gravity in closed vertical porous tube has been studied. The effect of slip parameter and porosity parameter has been studied on pressure gradient, velocity distribution for given film thickness. A possible application of the result for detecting the pressure fluctuations of a human body has been suggested.
