| Abstract: | A microbubble phenomenon induced by micro-oscillation in the grease lubricating film confined within a nanogap between a highly polished steel ball and a smooth glass disc has been observed with an interferometer. Experimental results show that when the micro-oscillation frequency is a constant value, the microbubble number increases with the micro-oscillation amplitude. When the micro-oscillation amplitude is a constant value, the microbubble number increases with the micro-oscillation frequency when the latter is lower than the critical value and decreases with the micro-oscillation frequency when it is higher than the critical value. Theoretical models and analyses have been used to discuss the bubble formation and describe the characteristics of bubble movement. |
