Production, drainage and stability of foams films, i.e. films in contact with their menisci, are fascinating problems that remain still unsolved. In this article, we propose to explore the regime of large velocities and large film sizes.…
The outcome of this paper was a shape of the interaction of two oscillating bubbles. This was done to express the secondary Bjerknes force using the Maxwell equations for a liquid. These subsequent equations were written for the quantities…
We have designed and constructed an experimental system to study gas bubble growth in slightly supersatu- rated liquids. This is achieved by working with carbon dioxide dissolved in water, pressurized at a maximum of 1 MPa and applying a…
The persistent decay of bubble clusters in coarsening two-dimensional soap froths is measured experimentally as a function of cluster volume fraction. Dramatically stronger decay is observed in comparison to soap froth models and to…
We numerically study the system of rapidly rotating Bose atoms at the filling factor (ratio of particle number to vortex number) $\nu=1$ with the dipolar interaction. A moderate dipolar interaction stabilizes the incompressible quantum…
The impact of droplets on a liquid pool is ubiquitous in nature and important in many industrial applications. A droplet impacting on a liquid pool can result in the pinch-off of a regular bubble or entrap a large bubble under certain…
This is the first in a series of papers where we study the dynamics of a bubble wall beyond usual approximations, such as the assumptions of spherical bubbles and infinitely thin walls. In this paper, we consider a vacuum phase transition.…
A soap film is actually a thin solid fluid bounded by two surfaces of opposite orientation. It is natural to model the film using one polyhedron for each side. Two problems are to get the polyhedra for both sides to be in the same place…
Cavitation is a phenomenon in which bubbles form and collapse in liquids due to pressure or temperature changes. Even common tools like a rubber popper can be used to create cavitation at home. As a rubber popper toy slams a solid wall…
For a limited set of impact conditions, a drop impacting onto a pool can entrap an air bubble as large as its own size. The subsequent rise and rupture of this large bubble plays an important role in aerosol formation and gas transport at…
It is known that in a certain case, the secondary Bjerknes force, which is a radiation force acting between pulsating bubbles, changes, e.g., from attraction to repulsion as the bubbles approach each other. In this paper, a theoretical…
We analyze the flow of a liquid foam between two plates separated by a gap of the order of the bubble size (2D foam). We concentrate on the salient features of the flow that are induced by the presence, in an otherwise monodisperse foam, of…
We establish the existence of a cusp in the curvature of a solid sheet at its contact with a liquid subphase. We study two configurations in floating sheets where the solid-vapor-liquid contact line is a straight line and a circle,…
When a mm-sized liquid drop approaches a deep liquid pool, both the interface of the drop and the pool deform before the drop touches the pool. The build up of air pressure prior to coalescence is responsible for this deformation. Due to…
The duality between deformations of elastic bodies and non-inertial flows in viscous liquids has been a guiding principle in decades of research. However, this duality is broken when a spheroidal or other doubly-curved liquid film is…
In this work we show that two absorbing microbeads can briefly share the same optical trap. Optical forces pull the particles towards the waist of the trapping beam. However, once a particle reaches the vicinity of the waist, the…
The paper considers rotations at different scales in granular materials: the rotations of individual particles, the rolling and rigid-rotation of particle pairs, the rotational interactions of a particle within its cluster of neighbors, and…
The collapse of a gas or vapour bubble near a non-porous boundary is directed at the boundary due to the asymmetry induced by the nearby boundary. High surface pressure and shear stress from this collapse can damage, or clean, the surface.…
Inflow control is essential for most fluid mechanics experiments. Although vertically falling soap film flows have been extensively used in the last four decades to study two-dimensional flows, its inflow stability has not yet been…
In this paper, we study the dynamics of a finite number of spherical bubbles in a compressible fluid within a bounded open domain of R 3 . The fluid-bubble interaction is described by a system of nonlinear partial differential equations…
