Block-to-granular-like transition in dense bubble flows

[en] We have experimentally investigated 2-dimensional dense bubble flows underneath inclined planes. Velocity profiles and velocity fluctuations have been measured. A broad second-order phase transition between two dynamical regimes is observed as a function of the tilt angle theta. For low theta values, a block motion is observed. For high theta values, the velocity pro. le becomes curved and a shear velocity gradient appears in the flow.
