Abstract
Two acoustic bubbles may attract or repel due to the secondary radiation force acting on them. We use here a dual-frequency levitation chamber in order to trap two oscillating microbubbles at close, fixed distance, and to perform measurements of the interaction force. We successfully compare our measurements to a commonly used theoretical model that assumes linear spherical oscillations, and disregards attenuation and multiple scattering between bubbles. The deviation from the model arises when nonspherical surface oscillations are triggered, leading to an additional hydrodynamic force induced by second-order liquid flow.
