Effect of gas expansion on the front shape of a Taylor bubble: an experimental contribution

An experimental study where an individual Taylor bubble rises through water with different bubble volume expansion rates is presented with the (front) bubble shape determination as main objective. A combination of two techniques, Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Pulsed Shadowgraphy (PS), was us...
