Bubble growth, departure and sliding in low-pressure flow boiling has received considerable attention in the past. However, most applications of boiling heat transfer rely on high-pressure flow boiling, for which very little is known, as…
The study of gas bubble dynamics in liquids is justified by the numerous applications and natural phenomena where this two-phase flow is encountered. Gas bubbles move as forces are applied to them; their dynamics are full of nuances that…
The dissolution of a body into quiescent water leads to density stratifications at the interfaces that drive buoyant flows. Where the stratification is unstable, the flow destabilizes into convective solute plumes. By analogy with the…
