Bubble-based metamaterials have been extensively studied both theoretically and experimentally thanks to their simple geometry and their ability to manipulate acoustic waves. The latter is partly dependent on the structural characteristics…
The drift mobility of the negative oxygen ion in dense Argon gas near the liquid-vapor critical point has been measured as a function of the density. Near the critical temperature the zero-field density-normalized ion mobility shows a deep…
Gas bubble growth as a result of diffusion flux of dissolved gas molecules from the surrounding supersaturated solution to the bubble surface is studied. The condition of the flux steadiness is revealed. A limitation from below on the…
We investigate generalized soliton-bearing systems in the presence of external perturbations. We show the possibility of the transport of solitons using external waves, provided the waveform and its velocity satisfy certain conditions. We…
Suppression of boundary-driven Rayleigh streaming has recently been demonstrated for fluids of spatial inhomogeneity in density and compressibility owing to the competition between the boundary-layer-induced streaming stress and the…
The spherical dynamics of a bubble in a compressible liquid has been studied extensively since the early work of Gilmore. Numerical codes to study the behavior, including when large non-spherical deformations are involved, have since been…
We report acoustic experiments on foam systems. We have recorded the sound emitted by crackling cells during the collapsing of foams. The sound pattern is then analyzed using classical methods of statistical physics. Fundamental processes…
In a multi-field/fluid cosmological system consisting of a number of minimally coupled canonical scalar fields, non-canonical scalar fields and barotropic perfect fluids, we introduce a new definition of effective speed of sound of the…
The growth of bubbles in cosmological first-order phase transitions involves nontrivial hydrodynamics. For that reason, the study of the propagation of phase transition fronts often requires several approximations. A frequently used…
When an open tube of small diameter touches a bubble of a larger diameter, the bubble spontaneously shrinks and pushes a soap film in the tube. We characterize the dynamics for different bubble sizes and number of soap films in the tube. We…
A Bose gas trapped in a one-dimensional optical superlattice has emerged as a novel superfluid characterized by tunable lattice topologies and tailored band structures. In this work, we focus on the propagation of sound in such a novel…
The controlled rotation of solid particles trapped in a liquid by an ultrasonic vortex beam is observed. Single polystyrene beads, or clusters, can be trapped against gravity while simultaneously rotated. The induced rotation of a single…
A Stokes experiment for foams is proposed. It consists in a two-dimensional flow of a foam, confined between a water subphase and a top plate, around a fixed circular obstacle. We present systematic measurements of the drag exerted by the…
This paper presents a model for nonspherical oscillations of encapsulated bubbles coated with a polymer infused with magnetic particles, developed using membrane theory for thin weakly magnetic membranes. According to this theory, only the…
We study the rolling motion of a small solid sphere on a surface patterned rubber substrate in an external field with and without a noise. In the absence of the noise, the ball does not move below a threshold force above which it…
Vaporization of low-boiling point droplets has numerous applications in combustion, process engineering and in recent years, in clinical medicine. However, the physical mechanisms governing the phase conversion are only partly explained.…
The spatio-temporal dynamics of separation bubbles induced to form in a fully-developed turbulent boundary layer (with Reynolds number based on momentum thickness of the boundary layer of 490) over a flat plate are studied via direct…
We consider the effect of Gaussian white noise on fast-slow dynamical systems with one fast and two slow variables, containing a folded-node singularity. In the absence of noise, these systems are known to display mixed-mode oscillations,…
The pressure-driven inertial collapse of a cylindrical void in an inviscid liquid is an integrable, Hamiltonian system that forms a finite-time singularity as the radius of the void collapses to zero. Here it is shown that when the natural…
Molecular dynamics studies of nono-sized rigid grains, droplets and bubbles in nano-sized pores indicate that the drag force may have a hydrodynamic form if the moving object is dense and small compared to the pore diameter. Otherwise, the…
