Bubble propagation through viscoplastic fluids

In this thesis we consider the propagation of an air bubble in a cylindrical column filled with a viscoplastic fluid. Because of the yield stress of the fluid, it is possible that a bubble will remain trapped in the fluid indefinitely. We restrict our focus to the case of slow moving or near-stop...
