The effects of liquid temperature and injection method on single bubble rise characteristics in clean still water were experimentally investigated. It was confirmed that the shape and rise velocity of a bubble strongly depend on the method of bubble formation. For the rise velocity in high temperature water, the correlation for fully contaminated liquid might be appropriate even in the clean water. Because of the importance in the numerical simulation of bubbly two-phase flow, the experimental information on rise path oscillation such as amplitude and frequency was also reported.
