Breaking dynamics of bubbles in turbulence produce a wide range of bubble sizes, which mediates gas transfer, in particular, at the ocean/atmosphere interface. At the scales close to the stability limit of bubbles torn away by inertial forces, a typical geometry that induces bubble breakup is the uniaxial straining flow. In this configuration, the bubble shapes and their limit of stability have been studied theoretically and numerically near their equilibrium.
