Abstract

Single bubble behavior inside a rotating liquid-filled sphere is studied both experimentally and theoretically. In the limit of small values of the Taylor number, a quasi-static theoretical description of the motion of the bubble is developed. The analytical result thus obtained is compared with experiment and predicts the bubble trajectory as well as its asymptotic location which, in the presence of gravity, is not exactly on the axis of rotation.
