The process of bubble shape deformation, the flow field changes around the bubbles, the interaction between the bubbles and flow field, and the influence of the separa- tion distance and the width of container on bubbles motion were analyzed in detail. The results showed that the bubbles are symmetrically distributed in different shapes at different moments. Due to the existence of the vortex field, the two horizontal bubbles attract or repulse each other periodically in the process of rising, and meanwhile the bubbles will swing up. But, the two vertic- al distribution bubbles will coalesce or separate repeatedly. With the increasing distance of the two bubbles, the interaction strength becomes smaller. With the increasing width of the container, the influence of container on bubbles motion becomes smaller
