We performed laboratory experiments on bubbly channel flows using silicone oil; which has a low surface tension and clean interface to bubbles; as a test fluid to evaluate the wall shear stress modification for different regimes of bubble migration status. The channel Reynolds numbers of the flow ranged from 1000 to 5000; covering laminar; transition and turbulent flow regimes. The bubble deformation and swarms were classified as packing; film; foam; dispersed; and stretched states based on visualization of bubbles as a bulk void fraction changed. In the dispersed and film states; the wall shear stress reduced by 9% from that in the single-phase condition; by contrast; the wall shear stress increased in the stretched; packing; and foam states. We carried out statistical analysis of the time-series of the wall shear stress in the transition and turbulent-flow regimes. Variations of the PDF of the shear stress and the higher order moments in the statistic indicated that the injection of bubbles generated pseudo-turbulence in the transition regime and suppressed drag-inducing events in the turbulent regime. Bubble images and measurements of shear stress revealed a correlated wave with a time lag; for which we discuss associated to the bubble dynamics and effective viscosity of the bubble mixture in wall proximity. © 2020 Elsevier Inc;
