Ultrasonic irradiation of liquids, such as water-alcohol solutions, results in cavitation or the formation of small bubbles. Cavitation bubbles are generated in real solutions without the use of optical traps making our system as close to…
An analytical theory is developed that describes acoustic microstreaming produced by the interaction of an oscillating gas bubble with a viscoelastic particle. The bubble is assumed to undergo axisymmetric oscillation modes, which can…
Minnaert resonance is a well known physical phenomenon and it has many important applications, in particular in the effective realisation of acoustic metamaterials using bubbly mediums in recent years. In this paper, motived by the Minnaert…
In order to assess the physical mechanisms at stake when giant gas bubbles burst at the top of a magma conduit, laboratory experiments have been performed. An overpressurized gas cavity is initially closed by a thin liquid film, which…
Recent research on the dynamics of certain fluid dynamical instabilities shows that when there is a slow invariant manifold subject to fast timescale instability the dynamics are extremely sensitive to noise. The behaviour of such systems…
The speed of sound refers to the rate at which information travels from one point to another. It is a positive quantity and bounded by causality. It is defined as the rate of change of pressure with respect to the system's density. In this…
Acoustic microstreaming due to an oscillating microbubble is analytically investigated to obtain the circular streaming motion adjacent to a nearby wall. Classical theory due to Nyborg is carefully derived in the radial coordinates. The…

One of the key observables in a gravitational wave power spectrum from a first order phase transition in the early Universe is the mean bubble spacing, which depends on the rate of nucleation of bubbles of the stable phase, as well as the…
``Transition frequencies'' of a system containing an arbitrary number of bubbles levitated in a liquid are discussed. Using a linear coupled-oscillator model, it is shown theoretically that when the system contains $N$ bubbles of different…
Gas bubbles in a sound field are submitted to a radiative force, known as the secondary Bjerknes force. We propose an original experimental setup that allows us to investigate in details this force between two bubbles, as a function of the…
Sound waves in bubbly water and light in special relativity obey identical first-order transport laws. This equivalence is not approximate or analogical but mathematically identical to first order in $U/v$, sharing the same form discovered…
In this work, we experimentally investigate the suspension behavior of droplets subjected to standing acoustic waves. We focus on the droplet sizes beyond the Rayleigh limit, i.e., when the droplet size is comparable to the wavelength of…
We calculate the gravitational wave power spectrum from sound waves in a cosmological first order phase transition in the unexplored regime of large bubbles, by which we mean that the mean bubble spacing $R_*$ is a non-negligible fraction…
In this paper, a new general formula for the sound speed in adiabatic conditions ( S = const ) has been established. The sound speed depends on the mass density {\rho} (p,T ) and the internal energy per unit mass E(p,T ), both expressed as…
