Abstract

We investigate numerically the dynamics of a drop containing a bubble impacting onto a pool of the same liquid. We show that the bubble can be engulfed into the pool after impact only for a limited range of impact velocities and bubble sizes. Below a critical Weber number, the compound drop bounces from the surface. By contrast, above a second threshold in Weber number, the bubble bursts during impact. Depending on the bubble size, we identify two different mechanisms responsible for this higher impact velocity threshold, with central bursting at lower bubble sizes, or dimple bursting at larger bubble sizes. We then characterize and model the dynamics of the cavity, to finally provide an overview of the mechanisms affecting the bubble stability in the liquid.
