Abstract

We report on an experimental study of the onset of surface oscillation and jetting of bubbles attached to a rigid surface. The driving frequency is 16.27 kHz and the radius of the spherical capped bubble is 160 ± 5 μ m . The acoustic amplitude is increased from 0 to 0.085 bar while the oscillation is recorded with a high-speed camera at 180,000 frames/s over 8100 periods of oscillations. The radial and surface modes are analyzed from a Fourier decomposition. With increasing pressure amplitude we find three regimes: pure radial oscillation, development of surface oscillations, and a chaotic surface oscillation regime. These regimes appear abrupt and are repeatable. In the chaotic regime, fast liquid jetting towards the rigid surface is observed.
