Abstract

The paper presents the results of experimental study for rising a cluster of monodispersed gas bubbles in viscous liquid with/without surfactant for the Reynolds number in the range Re = 0.01–1. The influence of the surfactant type on the dynamics of bubble cluster rising has been analyzed. The qualitative pattern of monodispersed bubble cluster rising was defined as a function of initial void fraction in the range CV = 0.001–0.04. New experimental data were obtained on velocity and drag coefficient for a compact cluster made of monodispersed bubbles rising in a liquid with/without surfactant (both for contact and contactless type of bubble rising).
