Abstract

The aim of the present work is to study the interaction between an oscillating bubble and a free surface. We perform a series of experiments and numerical simulations and attempt to characterize both early and late stages of the interaction. The focus is on providing insight into the mechanisms of bubble-induced atomization. For this reason, we are particularly interested in characterizing the patterns and dynamics of the liquid jets that are formed at the free surface. Observations regarding the evolution of the free surface are presented by measuring the jet's surface area and volume. Finally, based on these quantities, we introduce a metric that may be used to characterize the liquid jetting and predict whether late-time atomization of the interface will occur.
