Abstract :
This paper investigates the growth/collapse process and the induced flow fields for explosive microthermal dual bubbles by experimental and numerical approaches quantitatively. The study reveals the decrease of pressure and velocity induced with decreasing spacing between bubbles and thus influence of the actuated momentum.
