The velocity gradient mentioned above was due to boundary influence.

With a slightly bigger geometry the result is within 1.4 % error of the estimated value of the...

I revised the whole case of the rising bubble.
My first setup was complete crap!
I did completely wrong trying to compute in plane 2D.

Dam it, this is not working.

I have tried different set-ups now, but this is still not working.

The test case with a 20mm diameter bubble described in the literature yields 20% error.

But maybe I will try it.

Now, that the caluclation is finished I have some depressing results. The bubble broke up just about the end of the calculation:

Yes, I'm talking about the curvation of the top front of the bubble.

I don't know how to export these things into MATLAB or similar.

Does anybody know, how this can be done?

I received a question about how I calculated the terminal velocity.

Now I could performe a full simulation.

The terminal velocity is reached without significant "overshot".

I have set up a finer mesh by now and the simulation is running.
The error between estimated and calculated liquid phase volume fraction is at 0.9 %.
So I think the mesh is "good" enough.

It's consistent with the other theoretical works I have read.

What I'm still missing is a way of calculating the rise-velocity.
