Kinematic signatures of the jet, winds, multicavities, and episodic shells arising in the unified model of bipolar outflows developed in Shang et al.\ (2020), in which an outflow forms by radially directed, wide-angle toroidally magnetized…

3D-Particle Tracking (3D-PTV) and Phase Sensitive Constant Temperature Anemometry in pseudo-turbulence--i.e., flow solely driven by rising bubbles-- were performed to investigate bubble clustering and to obtain the mean bubble rise…
We show numerically that large amplitude, \textit{shape deformations}, imposed on a spherical-cap, incompressible, sessile gas bubble pinned on a rigid wall can produce a sharp, wall-directed jet. For such a bubble filled with a permanent…
The liquid cone-jet mode can be produced upon stimulation by a co-flowing gas sheath. Most applications deal with the jet breakup, leading to either of two droplet generation regimes: jetting and dripping. The cone-jet flow pattern is…

Jetting dynamics from bursting bubbles play a key role in mediating mass and momentum transport across the air-liquid interface. In marine environments, this phenomenon has drawn considerable attention due to its role in releasing…

Turbulent emulsions are ubiquitous in chemical engineering, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and other fields. However, our experimental understanding of this area remains limited due to the multi-scale nature of turbulent flow and the…
When an asymmetric bubble collapses it generally produces a well defined high velocity jet. This is remarkable because one might expect such a collapse to produce a complex or chaotic flow rather than an ordered one. I present a dimensional…

We study singular jets from the collapse of drop-impact craters, when the drop and pool are of different immiscible liquids. These jets emerge from a dimple at the bottom of the rebounding crater, when no bubble is pinched off. The…
