Electroconvective gas bubble movement

The electroconvective gas bubble movement in the field of plane-parallel capacitor is investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The evolution of a bubble on the stages of growth, separation and surfacing is considered. The system of ordinary differential equations was solved numerically using a modified Hemming's method. The obtained experimental results confirmed the assumption about a considerable influence of the force accounted for electric field non-uniformity and are in a good accordance with the theoretical ones.
