The paper reports on the quasi-static steady flow of a dry liquid foam around a fixed spherical bead, few times larger than the typical bubble size. The force exerted on the bead is recorded with a precision and a time resolution large…
This study presents experimental observations of single laser-induced cavitation bubbles collapsing in water with different levels of air saturation. The average trends of the bubble size reveal a clear yet little dependence of the energy…
The growth of a planetary core by pebble accretion stops at the so called pebble isolation mass, when the core generates a pressure bump that traps drifting pebbles outside its orbit. If the isolation mass is very small, then gas accretion…
Relativistic jets are observed throughout the Universe, strongly impacting their surrounding environments on all physical scales, from Galactic binary systems to galaxies and galaxy clusters. An important avenue to understand the formation…
We explain the emergence and robustness of intense jets in highly turbulent planetary atmospheres, like on Jupiter, by a general approach of statistical mechanics of potential vorticity patches. The idea is that potential vorticity mixing…
The dense flow of air bubbles in a two-dimensional silo (through an aperture D) filled with a liquid is studied experimentally. A particle tracking technique has been used to bring out the main properties of the flow: displacements of the…
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…
High velocity jets are among the most prominent features of a wide class of planetary nebulae, but their origins are not understood. Several different types of physical model have been suggested to power the jets, but there is no consensus…
A liquid jet can stably bounce off a sufficiently soft gel, by following the contour of the dimple created upon impact. This new phenomenon is insensitive to the wetting properties of the gels and was observed for different liquids over a…
Observations show that high-velocity jets stem from deeply embedded young stars, which may still be experiencing infall from their parent cloud cores. Yet theory predicts that, early in this buildup, any outgoing wind is trapped by incoming…
The dynamics of cavitation bubbles in the vicinity of a solid cylinder or fibre are seen in water treatment, demolition and/or cleaning of composite materials, as well as bio-medical scenarios such as ultrasound-induced bubbles near the…
Breakup of water jets under gravity is a common-place phenomenon. The role of surface tension in the instability of water jets was recognized by Rayleigh and the theory propounded goes by the name of Plateau-Rayleigh theory. The necks and…
We investigate the dynamics and morphology of jets propagating into the interstellar medium using 2D relativistic hydrodynamic simulations. The calculations are performed assuming axisymmetric geometry and trace a long propagation of jets.…
The removal of microbubbles from substrates is crucial for the efficiency of many catalytic and electrochemical gas evolution reactions in liquids. The current work investigates the coalescence and detachment of bubbles generated from…
We report experimental measurements of the acoustic emission associated with the bursting of a gas bubble at the free surface of a non-newtonian fluid. On account of the viscoelastic properties of the fluid, the bubble is generally…
Droplets can self-propel when immersed in another liquid in which a concentration gradient is present. Here we report the experimental and numerical study of a self-propelling oil droplet in a vertically stratified ethanol/water mixture: At…
Liquid jet formations on water surfaces serve as a cornerstone in diverse scientific disciplines, underpinning processes in climatology, environmental science, and human health issues. Traditional models predominantly focus on pristine…
Bubbles dispersed in liquids are widely present in many natural and industrial processes, and play a key role in mediating mass transfer during their lifetime from formation to rising to bursting. In particular, nano/micro-sized…
The current understanding of the formation of powerful bi-directional jets in systems such as radio galaxies and quasars is that the process involves a supermassive black hole that is being fed with magnetized gas through an orbiting…
This paper investigates a clustering instability of a freely falling granular jet composed of 100 micron glass spheres. The granular flow out of a circular nozzle starts out spatially uniform and then, further downstream, breaks up into…
