The oft-quoted 1-to-10 rule, that the diameter of the top jet drop is about one-tenth that of a bubble bursting in seawater, holds for bubbles of <500 μm diameter at about room temperature. The diameter of the second jet drop is about 8% larger than that of the top drop. Some of the lower drops are larger and some are smaller than the top drop. Both drop size and ejection height decrease with decreasing water temperature. Jet drops are produced from bubbles estimated to be as small as 10 μm in…

### Spray production by air bubbles bursting on a water surface

The size and two components of the ejection velocity of the jet droplets generated by bursting bubbles on a water surface have been measured by a phase Doppler particle analyzer. The experiments are

### The number and size of jet drops produced by air bubbles bursting on a fresh water surface

The size distributions of the jet drops produced by individual air bubbles bursting on a fresh water surface are presented. The bubbles studied ranged in size from 349 to 1479 μm radius. The

### The sizes of the jet drops produced by air bubbles bursting on sea- and fresh-water surfaces

The size distributions of the top 6 jet drops produced by air bubbles bursting on sea- and fresh-water surfaces are presented for bubbles with radii from 350 to 1500 μ m. There are no significant

### NOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE Jet Drops Produced by Bubbles Bursting at the Surface of Seawater

Several empirical formulas were reported to describe the production of jet drops by bubbles bursting at the surface of seawater; they were, however, based on scanty data. Recent observations of Spiel

### Size of the top jet drop produced by bubble bursting

• Physics
• 2016
As a bubble bursts at a liquid-air interface, a tiny liquid jet rises and can release the so-called \textit{jet drops}. In this paper, the size of the top jet drop produced by a bubble bursting is

### On the births of jet drops from bubbles bursting on water surfaces

The parameters describing the birth of film droplets originating from bubbles bursting on seawater surfaces are presented. Results are given for bubble sizes Db from 2 to 14.6 mm equivalent volume

### Microjetting from wave focusing on oscillating drops

• Physics, Environmental Science
• 2007
We present experimental observations of microjetting from an oscillating drop. The jet is generated by the focusing of axisymmetric capillary waves that overturn and collide at an apex of the drop.
