A fully automated three-dimensional observation of single bubble breakup trajectories in a stirred tank is demonstrated to gain unbiased and statistically relevant information about the breakup process. The mother bubble size is kept constant, independently of the stirring rate. The investigated parameter in this work is the power input. Three-dimensional bubble breakup trajectories and heat maps for the initial breakup location probability for the bottom and side views are provided. The influence of the stirrer blade angle position, at the moment of bubble detachment from the capillary, on the breakup probability is analyzed. The breakup positions are linked to the current flow field, related to the stirrer blade angle, within the tank.
