Investigation of the wake flow structure resulting from a bubble\u27s tail and a change in flow channel geometry

Much knowledge regarding the dynamics of rising bubbles\u27 motion and their wakes has been gained from the investigations performed to date. The present study sought to add to this knowledge concerning the wake dynamics of a bubble in liquid flows by separately investigating the bubble tail\u27s influence and the wall effect when the flow channel approaches a two-dimensional geometry. --Abstract, page iii
