Abstract:

This is a simulation work for an experimental observation in lab. The data includes the numerical codes of matlab for the simulation, and the data summary for all the figures. This data supports the publication "Stability of a bi-layer free film: simultaneous or individual rupture events?"

Purpose:

Bursting of bubbles at interfaces is a familiar everyday occurrence, playing an important role in a spectrum of phenomena, including foam evolution, cell death and aerosol generation. The dynamics of a rising bubble in an aqueous phase coated with a thin layer of oil can disperse submicron oil droplets into the aqueous phase. Such a physical system is reminiscent of oil spillages floating at sea, and the discovery suggests a mechanism whereby the oil droplets can be drawn into the water. The oil and water layers are observed to rupture either simultaneously or separately.

Data Parameters and Units:

The data includes the eps files for all figures, and the source matlab files.
