Abstract
The shear lift force on a spherical bubble in an unbounded shear flow at low Reynolds number is derived. It is two thirds of that for a soli d sphere. An approximate expression for the shear lift force at finite Reynolds number and finite shear rate is obtained by an interpolation using the present result and Auton's result at large Re and small she ar rate (Auton, T. R. 1987. J. Fluid Mech., 183, 190-218).
