The pressure-volume relationship and the zone-center optical phonon frequency of cubic diamond at pressures up to 600 GPa have been calculated based on Density Functional Theory within the Local Density Approximation and the Generalized…
When a drop impacts a deep pool, it forms a crater which subsequently rebounds. Under certain conditions, a dimple forms at the crater bottom, which pinches off to entrap a small bubble. The oscillation of this entrapped bubble is the…
We report experimental results on the behavior of an ensemble of inelastically colliding particles, excited by a vibrated piston in a vertical cylinder. When the particle number is increased, we observe a transition from a regime where the…
The acoustic bubble is an example of a highly nonlinear system which is the building block of several applications and phenomena ranging from underwater acoustics to sonochemistry and medicine. Nonlinear behavior of bubbles, and most…
A wave near an isolated turning point is typically assumed to have an Airy function profile with respect to the separation distance. This description is incomplete, however, and is insufficient to describe the behavior of more realistic…
Bubbles are ubiquitous in many research applications ranging from ultrasound imaging and drug delivery to the understanding of volcanic eruptions and water circulation in vascular plants. From an acoustic perspective, bubbles are resonant…
The shock-boundary layer interaction over the convex wall of a supersonic turbine vane is studied with a focus on extreme separation bubble events and the interplay between the bubble, streaks, and streamwise vortices. The present analysis…
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…
After propagating through a random amplifying medium, a squeezed state commonly shows excess noise above the shot-noise level. Since large noise can significantly reduce the signal-to-noise ratio, it is detrimental for precision…
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…
