Abstract
The effect of ultrasound on the diffusive growth of a single spherical bubble growing on a substrate in supersaturated carbonated water is quantified. It is found that the diffusive growth of surface bubbles can be easily enhanced by 2 orders of magnitude during volumetric resonance. This convective growth is shown to be caused by vigorous acoustic microstreaming arising from the nonspherical bubble oscillations.
