Abstract
A bubble growth model for bubble chains has been formulated which combines a mechanistic model of bubble growth with a statistical model of bubble properties. Accurate predictions are obtained without the use of any empirically derived constants. The statistical model has been validated by comparison with numerical results from a deterministic model. By proper non-dimensionalization of the bubble frequency and height, the bubble growth is shown to follow a universal relationship.
