Surface nanobubbles are complex micro- and nanoscale fluid systems. While thermodynamics is believed to dominate nanobubble dynamics, the precise mechanism by which nanobubble evolution is driven by thermodynamics remains unclear. It is…

We study the conditions for disk galaxies to produce superbubbles that can break out of the disk and produce a galactic wind. We argue that the threshold surface density of supernovae rate for seeding a wind depends on the ability of…

In this work we are interested to study the by-products of SNR-clouds in a starburst (SB) system. These interactions can have an important role in the recycling of matter from the clouds to the ISM and vice-versa. In the present work, we…
