When the contractive ratio is 1.18 and 1.45 and the bubble is near the contractive portion, because the horizontal wall above the bubble is small, there is a slight effect on the shape of the bubble, and there is only a slight increase in the aspect ratio. When the bubbles remain in the contractive part, the aspect ratio of the bubble is smaller because of the effect of the vertical wall.
