An experimental study has been made of the growth and collapse of a bubble near a composite surface consisting of two viscoelastic materials. The migratory characteristics of the bubble are examined by means of streak photography. The bubble migration depends not only on the properties of the composite surface but also on bubble size and distance from the surface. Both the surface stiffness and surface inertia are considered to be effective parameters contributing to the bubble migration: the former seeming to be a particularly important factor. The state of neutral bubble collapse, with no migration towards or away from a surface, can be made to occur with an appropriate combination of the surface stiffness and inertia.

This work experimentally studies the behaviour of underwater explosion bubbles near different boundaries. The results are compared with theoretical and experimental data on cavitation bubbles. Although explosion and cavitation bubbles behave similarly on a macroscopic level, there are still some differences, most of which are from the explosive nature of the explosion bubble. The relationship between bubble migration and the Kelvin impulse, surface inertia m* and surface stiffness k* is investigated. We found that none of them comprehensively predicts the migration of both cavitation and explosion bubbles when boundary elasticity is considered. This elasticity should be considered as a relative value with respect to bubble size. On the other hand, the phase between local vibration of boundaries and the pulsation of bubbles could be a useful predictive index of bubble migration. When using research results developed for cavitation bubbles in relation to explosion bubbles, the material presented here may be useful for pointing out their similarities and differences.
