Non-contact rheology of finite-size air-water interfaces
Résumé
We present non-contact atomic-force microscopy measurements of the hydrodynamic interactions between a rigid sphere and an air bubble in water at the micro-scale. The size of the bubble is found to have a significant effect on the response due to the long-range capillary deformation of the air-liquid interface. To rationalize the experimental data, we develop a viscocapillary lubrication model accounting for the finite-size effect. The comparison between experiments and theory allows us to measure the air-liquid surface tension, without contact, paving the way towards robust non-contact tensiometry of polluted air-liquid interfaces.
