β¦ Synopsis
A variational approach, based upon the principle of minimum total energy, is used to study the interfacial stability of small ellipsoidal gas bubbles moving upwards in liquids of small viscosity because of their buoyancy. Viscous and inertia effects are neglected, while the effects of gravity are taken into consideration in the stability analysis. Critical Weber and Bond numbers were determined at which the interface becomes unstable. The theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental observations on air bubbles moving in filtered water.

The stability of a large two-dimensional gas bubble rising in an inviscid liquid because of buoyancy is studied. The analysis leads to the determination of a critical vertex angle subtended by the bubble. Bubbles with smaller vertex angles are shown to be unstable. This critical angle compares favou
