Abstract
An experimental study is presented of the frequency dependence and damping of the forced volume oscillations of gas bubbles in liquid-filled tubes. The bubbles occupy the entire section of the tube and are driven by a needle attached to a loudspeaker cone. The liquids used were water, a water–surfactant solution, and silicon oil, and the tube diameters were 1 and 3 mm. The results are in excellent agreement with the theory developed in two earlier papers. This work is motivated by the possibility of using gas bubbles as actuators in fluid-handling microdevices.
