The interactions between a spark generated bubble and sand particles with different diameters are studied in this paper using a high speed camera. And distance between the bubble and sand particle is varied. The experimental results show that there are two distinct phenomena during the interaction between the bubble and sand particle. On the one hand, the jet formed is much like that near a rigid wall; on the other hand, a mushroom-shape bubble will form, which will split into two bubbles and two jets with opposite directions along the axes will be generated afterwards. Thus, it is found that the sand particle has the characteristics of a rigid wall and an elastic material. In addition, as the distance d between the bubble and sand particle increases, the pulsating period of the bubble will rise to a peak before it reduces. For different sand particles, the distance corresponding to the peak decreases as the diameter of sand particle increases.
