Abstract
The temporal structure of sound radiation upon a drop falling onto a free liquid surface is investigated experimentally by high-resolution high-speed videorecording synchronized with a broad-band measurement of the acoustic pressure. Groups of short and relatively prolonged sound packets with frequency filling from 2 to 50 kHz and the corresponding flow patterns including the simultaneous formation of resonating bubbles and their interaction processes with an originating cavern are isolated. The temporal dependence of the determining parameter, i.e., the Weber number, which is stably reproduced in a series of experiments by a power function with a fractional index, is constructed.
