Time‐dependent numerical simulations of immiscible bubbles propagating in a Hele–Shaw cell are presented. Purely two‐dimensional calculations only show elongated bubbles propagating faster than the viscous fluid, in agreement with Tanveer’s results. For small capillary numbers, these bubbles assume circular shapes while their velocity approaches a plateau. By including the leading‐order three‐dimensional effects on the pressure jump across the interface, wider and shorter bubbles migrating at smaller velocities can be observed. In particular, flattened bubbles and bubbles slower than the viscous phase are found. Even though these bubbles also approach circular shapes for high surface tension values, a velocity plateau is not observed. While noticing that the three‐dimensional effects promote a tip instability, the multiple shapes and transitioins observed experimentally can only be partially explained.
