How can non-Newtonian (pseudoplastic) nature of liquid phase account for the decrease of void fraction in an upward co-current bubbly flow?

Maybe via the formation of larger bubbles which have higher rising velocity and result in the decrease of the respective residence time? If so, why shear-thinning behavior promotes the formation...
