We consider viscous steady streaming induced by oscillatory flow past a cylinder between two plates, where the cylinder's axis is normal to the plates. While this phenomenon was first studied in the 1930s, it has received renewed interest…
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…
This study examines the pressure exerted by a cavitation bubble collapsing near a rigid wall. A laser-generated bubble in a water basin undergoes growth, collapse, second growth, and final collapse. Shock waves and liquid jets from…
