This paper presents the results of numerical simulations for bubble motion in water. The motion is axisymmetric and steady in the bubble`s frame of reference. It is assumed that the liquid is quiescent except for the motion created by the bubble. The bubble Reynolds numbers range up to roughly 600. The results for clean interfaces are compared with Duineveld`s experiments. The insoluble surfactant model is used to model the behavior of bubbles in contaminated water. Calculations of wake volumes are presented.
