✦ Synopsis
By means of a kinetic model the stability of the flow in ga-liquid dispersions is studied here. Such problems as the regimes of flow and the domains of stability are examined. In the heterogeneous regime of flow, a domain of collective flow and a transition zone are observed. The model allows us to calculate the gas holdup vs. superficial velocity dependence for various domains of stability. Good agreement with the experimental data of many investigators is obtained.

Bubble columns are widely used as chemical reactors. The liquid phase is well mixed due to a liquid circulation present in practically all technical applications. The liquid circulation is shown experimentally (Lippert, 1982) to contain several circulation cells. Each cell is about one bubble column
Observations are reported on the two-phase bubble flow of air rising through a stationary water phase. Distinctly different results have been measured for tap water and for distilled water. The difference in these results is attributed to the presence of an extremely small quantity of an unknown sur
