In this paper, we study the formation process of a soap bubble by blowing soap film. Both bubble diameter and formation position were investigated in experiments. We found that the ratio between bubble size and soap film column is constant,…

Bubbles and droplets are ubiquitous in many areas of engineering, including microfluidics where they can serve as microreactors for screening of chemical reactions. They are often formed out of a constriction (a microfluidic channel or a…

Using mixtures of soap, water, and long chain polymers, free-floating soap bubbles can be formed with volumes approaching 100 m$^3$. Here we investigate how such thin films are created and maintained over time. We show how the extensional…

The merging of two soap bubbles is a fundamental fluid mechanical process in foam formation. In the present experimental study the liquid films from two soap bubbles are brought together. Once the liquid layers initially separated by a gas…

Bubbles have always captivated our curiosity with their aesthetics and complexities alike. While the act of blowing bubbles is familiar to everyone, the underlying physics of these fleeting spheres often eludes reasoning. In this letter, we…

Soap bubbles are by essence fragile and ephemeral. Depending on their composition and environment, bubble bursting can be triggered by gravity-induced drainage and/or the evaporation of the liquid and/or the presence of nuclei. They can…

A proof-of-concept demonstration of the electrowetting-on-dielectric of a sessile soap bubble is reported here. The bubbles are generated using a commercial soap bubble mixture - the surfaces are composed of highly doped, commercial silicon…

We simulate the quasi-static motion of a spherical particle through a stable, horizontal soap film. The soap film subtends a fixed contact angle, in the range $10-135^\circ$, where it meets the particle. The tension and pressure forces…

When an open tube of small diameter touches a bubble of a larger diameter, the bubble spontaneously shrinks and pushes a soap film in the tube. We characterize the dynamics for different bubble sizes and number of soap films in the tube. We…

A jet of water entering into a pool of the same liquid can generate air entrainment and form bubbles that rapidly raise to the surface and disintegrate. Here we report the equivalent phenomenon produced by a plunging dry granular jet, so…

In order to assess the physical mechanisms at stake when giant gas bubbles burst at the top of a magma conduit, laboratory experiments have been performed. An overpressurized gas cavity is initially closed by a thin liquid film, which…

A capillary jet plunging into a quasi-2D slab of monodisperse foam of the same solution is studied experimentally. We show that the jet can have a drastic impact on the foam. At small speeds it inflates the channels separating the bubbles.…

Although street artists have the know-how to blow bubbles over one meter in length, the bubble width is typically determined by the size of the hoop, or wand they use. In this article we explore a regime in which, by blowing gently, we…

We combine experiments and theoretical derivations to study the evolution of a stretched soap bubble and compare it with an open film to highlight the effect of volume conservation. We identify a critical length for both surfaces, beyond…

Soap bubbles are thin liquid films enclosing a fixed volume of air. Since the surface tension is typically assumed to be the only responsible for conforming the soap bubble shape, the realized bubble surfaces are always minimal area ones.…

We propose here a fluid dynamics video relating the bursting of soap rigid films.

We have designed and constructed an experimental system to study gas bubble growth in slightly supersatu- rated liquids. This is achieved by working with carbon dioxide dissolved in water, pressurized at a maximum of 1 MPa and applying a…

This fluid dynamics video was submitted to the Gallery of Fluid Motion for the 2009 APS Division of Fluid Dynamics Meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In this video we show some results from a simple experiment where air was injected by a…

Big bubbles are largely used in physics laboratories to study 2D turbulence, surface wavers, fundamental properties of soap systems... On a more artistic point of view, blowing big bubbles is part of many artistic shows. Both communities…

A soap bubble is a metastable object that eventually breaks. Indeed, the soapy water film thins until rupture, due to drainage and evaporation. In our experimental investigations, floating bubbles at the surface of a liquid bath have been…
