a The (dimensionless) dancing frequency, which increases with the number of bubbles, N, for fixed maximal surface lifting force (β = 0.017). b The mean rotation rate increases with the growth rate, Λ, in the continuum model (solid line). For the discrete model with N = 12 bubbles (circles), the mean rotation rate increases with Λ until premature bubble detachment becomes important. c The mean rotation rate as a function of β, for a selection of growth rates Λ, using the discrete model with N = 12 bubbles. Rotations are damped at large β and Λ due to the body emerging from the fluid. d Same as (c) but using the continuum model.
