Difficult sentence with 'hence'
source)
Such conditions were shown to be most likely met when the block was inclined at 45°
, thus forcing the bubble to slide closer to the heated surface
and hence to the thermal boundary layer.
interpretation and restoration)) ->
Such conditions were shown to be most likely met when the block was inclined at 45°
, thus (Such conditions) forced the bubble to slide closer to the heated surface
and hence (Such conditions forced the bubble) to the thermal boundary layer.
1) I'd like to know my interpretation from source is correct.
2) I'd like to know the phrase beginning by the word 'forcing' is a participle phrase.
3) I'd like to know why the conjunctive adverb 'hence' is different from the other conjunctive adverbs in regard to omitting common phrases:
Why can common phrases be omitted In a clause beginning by the word 'hence' the same as a clause beginning by 'and', 'or', and 'but'?
In advance, thank you very much for your help.

Thank you GPY for your answer.
I'm sorry for my poor English.
I will correct the restoration like as the following sentence.
and hence (Such conditions forced the bubble to slide closer) to the thermal boundary layer.
In the above sentence, the phrases 'Such conditions forced the bubble to slide closer' is omitted.
As far as I know, that usage is used only in senten

Per my answers to (1) and (2) above, I believe it means:

I know and I have mistaken; Sorry~
I'd like to ask this :
I have known the common phrases can be omitted in only clauses beginning by 'and', 'or', 'nor, 'yet' and 'but', not 'so' or 'for', needless to say a conjunctive adverb.
Have I known the wrong knowledge until now?

Sorry, I see now what you meant by (3). I think I did not read it carefully enough. In this example, "hence" does not seem very relevant to the question of omission of common phrases since "and" is present too. Basically we have this:
thus forcing the bubble to slide closer to the heated surface and [omitted words] to the thermal boundary layer
"hence" is inserted t
thus forcing the bubble to slide closer to the heated surface and [omitted words] to the thermal boundary layer
"hence" is inserted t

Thank you GPY for your sincere reply
I see.
I will take it that only if conjunctive adverbs is following 'and', the condition of omission can be made.
Am I right?

The same thing could happen following "but" and other simple conjunctions. I find it hard to give a definite answer to the case when no other conjunctions like "and" or "but" are involved because of the variety of conjunctive adverbs and sentence contexts in which they can be used. In the case where the conjunctive adverb appears after a semicolon or at the start of a new sentence, I think it is n

Thank you very much!!
I have seen that case several time, if I see that case from now on, I will post it.

I have made another mistake; I should have typed 'beginning with', not 'beginning by'.
