Abstract
The behavior of antibubbles bouncing on a gas–liquid interface is studied using a high-speed video camera. The dimensionless bounce time is found to be independent of the impacting velocity of the antibubbles over a wide range of velocities. Whether the drop bounces off the liquid surface or not is sensitive to the Weber number We, and the critical We is presented based on experimental results.
