description The main composition within a spark-generated bubble primarily consists of vapor, accompanied by a minor presence of noncondensable gases. The phase transition exerts a substantial influence on bubble dynamics throughout various stages, a facet that has been frequently overlooked in prior research. In this study, we introduce a modified theoretical model aimed at accurately predicting the multiple oscillations of spark-generated bubbles. Leveraging the Plesset equation, which integrates second-order corrections for compressibility and non-equilibrium evaporation, we further incorporate the thermal boundary layer approximation for bubbles, as proposed by Zhong et al. We employ an adjusted phase transition duration tailored to the unique characteristics of spark-generated bubbles. Furthermore, we meticulously ascertain initial conditions through repeated gas content measurements within the bubble. Our proposed theoretical model undergoes rigorous validation through quantitative comparisons with experimental data, yielding commendable agreement in modeling the dynamic behavior of bubbles across multiple cycles. Remarkably, we uncover that the condensation rate significantly governs the behavior of spark bubbles during their initial two cycles. Finally, we investigate the dependence of spark-generated bubble dynamics on the phase transition and the presence of air. Air content exhibits a minimal impact on bubble motion prior to the initial bubble collapse, but plays a role in the bubble’s rebound thereafter.
