Long Bubble Penetration through Viscoelastic Fluids in a Suddenly Contracting and Expanding Tube

This study investigated the properties of long bubbles penetrating viscoelastic fluids in a suddenly contracting and expanding tube. Injection gas flow is controlled by a mass flow controller (MFC). Some of dimensionless parameters, such as the capillary number (Ca), the Reynolds number (Re), the fr...
