Oscillation of an air bubble in microfluidic channel

Hello,
I am currently trying to simulate oscillation of an air bubble inside a microfludic channel, using pressure acoustics study. More specifically, I would like to observe displacement of an air-water interface that is formed inside a microfludic channel, when a acoustic pressure of a fixed frequency and amplitude is applied to a microfludic chip that contains the channel.
I have a rough idea how to make COMSOL calculate the acoustic pressure inside two domains (filled with air and water, respectively) in the microfludic channel, using transient pressure acoustics (actd). I would also like to make the air-water interface move according to the pressure differential between two domains; however, I was unable to find a way to do so.
I really appreciate your help in advance :)
