A study of the interaction between a membrane and a submerged oscillating bubble is presented. Though the behavior of such a bubble near an elastic (relatively thick) boundary has been studied by several authors, much less attention is focused on the behavior of such a bubble near a (thin) elastic membrane. For membranes, it is the curvature and not the deflection that is responsible for a pressure buildup in the fluid close to the bubble. Due to this difference in physics, it is not a certainty if the dynamics of bubbles near a deformable elastic boundary vis-a-vis a membrane would exhibit any similarity. Our intent is a systematic study on the latter, which can be exploited in future work (e.g., in biomedical applications where elastic membranes are often involved). Experimental observations of transient bubble interaction with a thin elastic membrane are presented and the dynamics of the bubble in the vicinity of the membrane are compared to the boundary element method simulations. The bubble is genera...
