Abstract

High-speed (2873 fps) visualization of soap film bursting dynamics has been performed by means of equipment available to a high school laboratory. This paper presents the geometry of the experiment and description of the analysis method of the video frames. We carried out the experiments on the bursting of vertical plane soap films using a circular frame with single central and non-central puncture of the film by a needle. The studies were also performed with simultaneous puncture of the film by two needles. Similar research of the films bursting was done using a non-circular frame in the form of a nonconvex hexagon. In all cases, the rupture line has the shape of a circle. For the first time, the displacement of the circular burst center upwards is recorded and explained. Flapping oscillations of the rupture line border at its movement are confirmed. The oscillating character of the rupture line movement is recorded and explained. In addition, we detected formation of the liquid bridge and its destruction at the interaction of two circular bursts with double puncture of the film.
