Fig. 7

Convective velocity distribution around the optical fibre module and bubble a in the xy-plane at z = 1 μm; b in the yz-plane at x = 0 μm. Enlarged images are shown in c xy-plane and d yz-plane. Here, the colour map indicates the convective velocity, and white arrows show the in-plane components of the normalised convective velocity. White dashed lines represent the outlines of the optical fibre and bubble. Temperature distribution around the optical fibre module and bubble e in the xy-plane at z = 1 μm; f in the yz-plane at x = 0 μm. White contours indicate isothermal lines of 150, 100 and 50 °C from the fibre centre.
