Abstract

Visualization experiments were performed to study the relation between free-surface motion and bubble translation in a 1-MHz ultrasonic cleaning bath. From the visualization with a video camera, the characteristic frequencies of the free-surface oscillation (under the acoustic radiation force) and the translational velocity of cavitation bubbles (trapped via the primary Bjerknes force) were extracted, showing that there is a strong correlation between the free-surface oscillation and bubble translation. From the context of megasonic cleaning, such free-surface oscillation is expected to contribute to uniform cleaning performance with cavitation bubbles.
