Manipulation of bubble collapse patterns near the wall of an adherent gas layer.

ABSTRACT: This paper aims to apply experimental methods to investigate the effect of the thickness of gas layers on the wall on the collapse direction of spark-induced bubbles. In the experiment, two high-speed cameras synchronously record the time evolution of the bubbles and the corresponding parameters such as the normalized collapse position and bubble collapse time. Experiments yielded results for individual bubbles over a range of normalized distances from 0 to 4.0 for different air layer thicknesses. Based on the morphology of the bubbles, the experimental jets were visualized into six different modes, namely, forward jet (FJ), merging jet (MJ), bidirectional jet (BJ), reversing jet (RJ), forward followed by reversing jet (FRJ), and non-directional jet (NDJ). The height of the air layer on th
