Vapor bubbles 'SUMO'
Ryota Hosoya, Ichiro Ueno

TL;DR
This study investigates vapor bubble dynamics in a subcooled pool, focusing on collapse phenomena, surface instabilities, and interactions between multiple bubbles, revealing key behaviors influencing bubble stability and collapse.
Contribution
It provides new insights into vapor bubble collapse mechanisms, surface instabilities, and interactions in subcooled pools, with detailed experimental observations.
Findings
Abrupt bubble collapse is preceded by surface disturbances.
Bubble interactions influence surface dynamics and collapse behavior.
Surface instabilities are essential for abrupt collapse phenomena.
Abstract
We carry out a series of experiments with a special interest on growing and condensing processes of vapor bubble(s) injected into a subcooled pool. We examine effects of the degree of subcooling of the bulk in the pool and injection rate of the vapor into the pool. We pay their special attention to (i) abrupt collapse of the injected vapor bubble to form micrometer-scale bubbles, and (ii) interaction of adjacent vapor bubbles laterally injected to the pool through the orifices. We have found that a fine disturbance does arise on the surface of the vapor bubble just prior to its abrupt collapse. The bubble never exhibits an abrupt collapse without such instability over the free surface. In the case of the injection of a pair of vapor bubbles through the neighboring orifices, the interaction between the bubbles and the effects of the induced flows by the bubble behaviors control the…
