High Froude-number flows become self-aerated when the destabilizing effect of turbulence overcomes gravity and surface tension forces. Traditionally, the resulting air concentration profile has been explained using single-layer approaches…

We study a model for the evolution of an axially symmetric bubble of inviscid fluid in a homogeneous porous medium otherwise saturated with a viscous fluid. The model is a moving boundary problem that is a higher-dimensional analogue of…
The bubbles involved in sonochemistry and other applications of cavitation oscillate inertially. A correct estimation of the wave attenuation in such bubbly media requires a realistic estimation of the power dissipated by the oscillation of…
We demonstrate experimentally the existence of a purely elastic fingering instability which arises when air penetrates into an elastomer confined in a Hele-Shaw cell. Fingers appear sequentially and propagate within the bulk of the material…
We study the Hele-Shaw immiscible displacements when all surfaces tensions on the interfaces are zero. The Saffman-Taylor instability occurs when a less viscous fluid is displacing a more viscous one, in a rectangular Hele-Shaw cell. We…

Wake-induced lift is a key mechanism governing the initial destabilization of bubbles rising in a chain (Atasi et al., 2023). Moore's wake model predicts limited interfacial vorticity and a relatively slender, spatially confined wake for…
Coarsening of two-phase systems is crucial for the stability of dense particle packings such as alloys, foams, emulsions or supersaturated solutions. Mean field theories predict an asymptotic scaling state with a broad particle size…
We study the linear stability of the displacement of three Stokes fluids with constant viscosity in a porous medium when the middle fluid is contained in a bounded region. We use the Hele-Shaw model. The eigenfunctions of the stability…
We adopt a boundary integral method to study the dynamics of a translating droplet confined in a Hele-Shaw cell in the Stokes regime. The droplet is driven by the motion of the ambient fluid with the same viscosity. We characterize the…
The frictionless, directional propagation of particles at the boundary of topological materials is one of the most striking phenomena in transport. These chiral edge modes lie at the heart of the integer and fractional quantum Hall effects,…
Electrons embedded in liquid $^3$He form mesoscopic bubbles with radii large compared to the interatomic distance between $^3$He atoms, voids of $N_{bubble}\approx 200$ $^3$He atoms, generating a negative ion with a large effective mass…
We derive boundary conditions at interfaces (contact discontinuities) for a class of Lagrangian models describing, in particular, bubbly flows. We use these conditions to study Kelvin-Helmholtz' instability which develops in the flow of two…
Pressure changes travel at an infinite sound speed in an incompressible ideal fluid, opposite to what happens in a bubbly liquid, where the presence of bubbles adds compressibility such that the sound speed becomes finite. Here, the…
