Abstract
The quasistatic injection of air bubbles at the wall in a viscous shear flow is experimentally investigated by high-speed video pictures and image processing. The bubble radius and center of gravity position are determined throughout the growth. Experimental results are then used to validate a force balance model during bubble growth and after detachment for small bubble Reynolds numbers. The contact angles at the bubble foot calculated from the force balance agree well with those experimentally obtained from image processing. Finally, the force balance model is used to predict the departure bubble radius versus the gas flow rate and liquid flow shear rate.

Dynamics of bubble growth and detachment from a needle

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the growth and departure of bubbles from a submerged needle and showed the existence of two different growth regimes according to whether the gas flow rate into the bubble is smaller or greater than a critical value.

Bubble formation at an orifice in a viscous liquid

TL;DR: In this paper, a theory of bubble formation based on the motion of a bubble in a viscous liquid has been developed, which gives the volume of gas bubbles formed at an orifice in a fluid for both constant gas flow and constant gas pressure.
