Abstract:A mechanical device inspired by the rapid rotational motion of the pistol shrimp plunger has been developed to experimentally study the contraction/expansion dynamics of a gas bubble inside a confined liquid volume and in the vicinity of solid surfaces. The apparatus consists of a limb with a V-shaped end, which fits into a socket forming a cylindrical compression chamber. Air bubbles of different sizes and in different positions inside the chamber were seeded to study their shape evolution in liquids when sub… Show more
