Area of Science:

Fluid dynamics
Acoustics
Optical metrology

Background:

Micrometric bubbles are crucial in various scientific and industrial applications.
Understanding bubble dynamics in acoustic fields is essential for controlling processes like sonochemistry and medical ultrasound.
Non-invasive, high-resolution measurement techniques are needed to accurately characterize bubble behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

To apply digital in-line holography (DIH) for non-invasive, quantitative analysis of micrometric bubble motion and size.
To assess the forces acting on bubbles, including buoyancy, drag, and acoustic radiation forces.
To investigate single and multi-bubble dynamics and interactions within an acoustic field.

Main Methods:

Digital in-line holography (DIH) for capturing holographic data of bubbles.
Image processing and reconstruction algorithms to determine bubble position and radius over time.
Force balance analysis using measured bubble dynamics and acoustic field simulations.

Main Results:

DIH successfully measured 3D bubble displacements and temporal radius evolution.
Buoyancy and drag forces were quantified in the absence of acoustic fields.
Primary acoustic radiation force on single bubbles was measured and its spatial evolution tracked.
Secondary radiation force (Bjerknes force) causing attraction and coalescence between two bubbles was quantified.
Experimental results on force magnitudes and interbubble force evolution showed good agreement with theoretical models and simulations.

Conclusions:

DIH is a powerful tool for non-invasive characterization of bubble dynamics and forces in acoustic fields.
The study provides quantitative insights into single and multi-bubble interactions driven by acoustic forces.
The findings validate theoretical models and demonstrate the potential of DIH for advanced fluid dynamics research.
