The goal of this project is an experimental study of the dynamics of interfacial meniscus inside an orifice during bubble formation from a submerged orifice. Incorporation of the meniscus dynamics into a mathematical model of the bubble formation allows explaining aperiodicity in the bubble formation at one orifice. The project objectives are the experimental verification of the model in a wide range of parameters coupled with the study of interactions between external acoustic source and the meniscus motion. Finally, an extension of the model from one orifice to more orifices will be done in order to explain a mechanism leading to an asynchronous regimes appearance during bubble formation at more orifices as well as an acquirement of new experimental data about simultaneous formation at multi-orifice spargers.
