contents The study of gas bubble dynamics in liquids is justified by the numerous applications and natural phenomena where this two-phase flow is encountered. Gas bubbles move as forces are applied to them; their dynamics are full of nuances that need to be addressed carefully. Since the mass of gas bubbles is practically negligible, in comparison to that of the surrounding liquid, their reaction to the fluid is controlled by the added mass acceleration and is thus impacted by all the forces arising from the fluid action. Furthermore, since their surface can be deformed by the same forces acting on them, their shape may change leading to changes in their resistance to move, the drag force, and therefore affecting their speed and their interaction with the surrounding flow which is often turbulent. The liquid rheology, as well as its surfactant content can also affect the bubble shape and motion as well. Understanding these issues, in addition to the effect of interactions with other bubbles, walls, and non-uniform flows, provides sufficient elements to model and predict bubble behavior through the solution of dynamic equations. In this review, we cover the key aspects of non-condensable gas bubble dynamics. We survey classical references on the subject and provide an overview of the main findings in the past 20 years. We conclude with a scope and suggestions for future research directions, with special attention to the dynamics of bubble in turbulence, in non-Newtonian fluid and/or in the presence of electrolytes.
