- Understanding Taylor bubble break-up regimes is key to many engineering applications on earth and in space. This paper is significant because it identified for the first time three distinct break-up mechanisms for accelerating Taylor bubbles within small channels, and grouped them into a new flow regime map based on non-dimensional global parameters. This research is a key outcome of EPSRC grant EP/P013112/1 and two European Space Agency projects (TOPDESS, ENCOM4).
