Heat, mass, and momentum transfer to a rising ellipsoidal bubble
Semianalytical solutions were obtained for the heat, mass, and momentum transfer to an oblate ellipsoidal bubble. The flow field around the bubble was assumed irrotational and inviscid. The solutions were validated by their asymptotic approach to the limit of the single spherical bubble, as well as by their comparisons with data obtained by other authors.
