This paper presents a combined numerical and analytical investigation into various problems involving two symmetric interacting constant-pressure bubbles evolving in two-dimensional Stokes flow. The bubbles have constant surface tension oil their boundaries and are taken to be in an ambient straining flow. First, a novel numerical method based on conformal mappings is presented to compute the free-surface evolution. Then, a special class of time-evolving exact Solutions to the problem is derived and used to check the numerical code. These Solutions reveal that, for bubbles with shrinking area, a competition between the imposed strain and surface tension can lead to either a slit or a point as the limiting shape. Numerical Solutions of fixed-area bubbles are then computed and reveal that when they are forced together by a straining flow, a thin lubrication layer Forms. In the absence of surface tension large-curvature regions develop at the bubble edges and these are smoothed out by capillary effects. Further, motivated by the Viscous sintering application, a Study of interaction effects on the pure surface-tension-driven shrinkage of circular bubbles is investigated and compared, in in appropriate limit, to a recently derived 'elliptical-pore model'.
