| contents | This paper investigates the relationship between the contact angle of a spherical bubble attached to a tube submerged in a container and the jet speed induced by an impulsive acceleration at its base. While it has been well established that bubble geometry strongly influences the ejection speeds of liquid jets, mathematical studies of liquid jets with arbitrary bubble shapes remain limited. In this work, we derive a pressure impulse in the small-cavity limit as a tractable integral of classical Legendre functions. It is shown that the jet speed can be divided into two components: (i) the velocity induced by the hydrostatic pressure impulse distribution created by the curvature of the bubble, and (ii) the velocity induced by the distribution of the submersion of the tube in a container. This decomposition reveals that an optimal bubble curvature emerges only when the tube is submerged: the optimality is absent for non-submerged configurations, where the jet speed increases monotonically with bubble depth. Experiments confirm this non-monotonicity and quantitatively support the predicted shift of the optimal geometry with submersion depth. |
