The motion of a spherical bubble rising in a gravitational field in presence of a traveling pressure step wave is investigated.

Abstract

The motion of a spherical bubble rising in a gravitational field in presence of a traveling pressure step wave is investigated. Equations of motion for the bubble radius and center of mass are deduced and several sample cases are analysed by means of their numerical integration. The crucial role played by the traveling speed of the wave front and by the intensity of the pressure step are discussed. A first comparison with the axisymmetric dynamics is discussed.
