Abstract

Previous work on the rise of a swarm of bubbles in non-Newtonian media has been reviewed. Variational principles have been combined with the Happel free surface cell model to obtain upper and lower bounds on the swarm velocities of bubbles rising slowly through power law liquids. The predictions presented herein encompass wide ranges of gas holdup and shear-thinning behaviour.
