Abstract

The strong interaction between the deforming bubble and the free surface is simulated numerically by a boundary-integral method. The present numerical results agree better with the experimental observations of Blake & Gibson (9181) than previous numerical predictions for bubbles incepted at one maximum radius from the free surface. There is also concurrence of flow features with the experiments for bubble incepted as close as half maximum radius from the free surface, where other numerical efforts have failed. The effects of buoyancy on bubbles incepted close to free surface are also investigated.
