Abstract
Bubble formation in flowing liquids was investigated experimentally under reduced gravity conditions. The effects of gas flow rate, liquid flow velocity, and liquid flow direction on bubble formation were studied for a period of 1.2 s under reduced gravity conditions produced in the 10 m drop tower at the Hokkaido National Industrial Research Institute at Sapporo in Hokkaido. To theoretically describe bubble formation in flowing liquids under reduced gravity conditions, a revised non-spherical bubble formation model was proposed and the calculated results of the bubble volume were compared with the experimental ones.
