The Impact

An air bubble is entrained by the impact of a drop on a water surface. Consequently sound is emitted. There are two categories of the bubble entrainment depending on the drop diameter dD and impact velocity Vimp. One is the regular entrainment where air bubbles are always pinched off, another is the irregular case where bubbles are trapped irregularly. In this paper we explore the mechanism of the irregular bubble entrainment and induced bubble sound.

The Impact

Drop impact on a water surface can be followed by underwater sounds originating not at the drop impact but when the entrained bubbles oscillate. Although the sound mechanism in the regular bubble entrainment region is well-known, there is less knowledge on the impact phenomena in the irregular bubble entrainment region where various situations can exist, such as many types of bubble formation or even no bubble generation under some conditions. In the present study, the aim is to clarify the dynamics of the water surface after the impact of a primary drop, mainly with diameter 5.2, 5.7 and 6.2mm, each of which is accompanied by a single satellite drop. Special attention was paid to the breakup behaviour of the water surface for Froude number Fr < 300. It was found that three underwater sounds were generated for a single drop impact, besides the sound due to impact itself. The first two were audible to the human ear, but the third one was almost inaudible. The first underwater sound resulted from the oscillation of a single air bubble formed as a result of the satellite drop impact on the bottom of the contracting cavity, and the second sound was due to the oscillation of air bubbles generated during the collapse of the water column. The formation of these air bubbles strongly depends on the Froude number, Weber number (or Bond number) and the aspect ratio of the drop at impact, although involving probability characteristics. Furthermore it is suggested that an air bubble entrapped in a water column plays an important role in increasing the probability of contact between the column surface and the curved free surface. A Japanese Suikinkutsu was introduced as an application of drop-impact-induced sounds. Using an open-type Suikinkutsu an additional experiment was carried out with larger drops with average diameters of 6.2, 7.2 and 7.8, mm.

Definition Of

During the past investigations of immunoferritin localization of intracellular antigens in ultrathin frozen sections, we found that the degree of negative staining required to delineate u1trastructural details was often too dense for the recognition of ferritin particles. The quality of positive staining of ultrathin frozen sections, on the other hand, has generally been far inferior to that attainable in conventional plastic embedded sections, particularly in the definition of membranes. As we discussed before, a main cause of this difficulty seemed to be the vulnerability of frozen sections to the damaging effects of air-water surface tension at the time of drying of the sections.Indeed, we found that the quality of positive staining is greatly improved when positively stained frozen sections are protected against the effects of surface tension by embedding them in thin layers of mechanically stable materials at the time of drying (unpublished).
