Bubbles and droplets are ubiquitous in many areas of engineering, including microfluidics where they can serve as microreactors for screening of chemical reactions. They are often formed out of a constriction (a microfluidic channel or a…
Despite its relevance in biology and engineering, the molecular mechanism driving cavitation in water remains unknown. Using computer simulations, we investigate the structure and dynamics of vapor bubbles emerging from metastable water at…
The formation of gas bubbles in a liquid occurs in various engineering processes, such as during foam generation or agitation and mixing in bubbly flows. A challenge in describing the initial formation of a gas bubble is due to the singular…
Cavitation is a common phenomenon in nature and has numerous applications. In contrast to a cavitation bubble in a free domain, a cavitation bubble in a thin tube is restricted by the tube wall, which is expected to significantly affect…
A jet of water entering into a pool of the same liquid can generate air entrainment and form bubbles that rapidly raise to the surface and disintegrate. Here we report the equivalent phenomenon produced by a plunging dry granular jet, so…
The process of bubble formation from an orifice submerged in liquid with constant gas flow is studied by numerical simulations using an OpenFOAM volume-of-fluid solver named interIsoFoam. The computed results show that the detached bubble…
The rupture of the thin film at the top of a bubble floating at a liquid-gas interface leads to the axisymmetric collapse of the bubble cavity. We present scaling laws for such a cavity collapse, established from experiments conducted with…
Water under tension, as can be found in several systems including tree vessels, is metastable. Cavitation can spontaneously occur, nucleating a bubble. We investigate the dynamics of spon- taneous or triggered cavitation inside water filled…
Cavitation in tubes is a common occurrence in nature and engineering applications. Previous studies of cavitation bubble dynamics mainly consider bubbles in stagnant-water tubes, but the dynamics of cavitation bubbles in tubes with flow is…
Enhancing the efficiency of water electrolysis, which can be severely impacted by the nucleation and growth of bubbles, is key in the energy transition. In this combined experimental and numerical study, in-situ bubble evolution and…
At the point of pinch-off of an underwater air bubble, the speed of water rushing in diverges. Previous studies that assumed radial flow throughout showed that the local axial shape is two smoothly connected, slender cones that transition…
We analyze the properties of naturally formed nano-bubbles in Lennard-Jones molecular dynamics simulations of liquid-to-vapor nucleation in the boiling and the cavitation regimes. The large computational volumes provide a realistic…
We report a detailed experimental characterization of the periodic bubbling regimes that take place in an axisymmetric air-water jet when the inner air stream is forced by periodic modulations of the pressure at the upstream air feeding…
We examine the fundamental fluid dynamical mechanisms dictating the generation of bioaerosols in the human trachea during intense respiratory events such as coughing and sneezing, with an emphasis on the role played by the mucosalivary…
We present a parametric study of the unsteady phenomena associated with the flow of elongated gas bubbles travelling through liquid-filled square capillaries under high Weber number conditions. These conditions consistently induce the…
Bubbles at a free surface surface usually burst in ejecting myriads of droplets. Focusing on the bubble bursting jet, prelude for these aerosols, we propose a simple scaling for the jet velocity and we unravel experimentally the intricate…
Cavitation is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature and bubble dynamics in open spaces have been widely studied, but the effects of the wall on the dynamics of cavitation bubbles in confined spaces are still unclear. Here, the dynamics of…
This study systematically investigates the formation mechanisms and scaling laws governing sub-millimeter bubble-jet generation in convergent coaxial microchannels. Experimental observations reveal four distinct evolutionary stages in…
We present an experimental investigation of the agglomeration of microbubbles into a 2D microfoam and its flow in a rectangular microchannel. Using a flow-focusing method, we produce the foam in situ on a microfluidic chip for a large range…
Bubble formation and detachment at a submerged orifice exists widely in both daily life and academic research, and the influence of solid surface on bubble formation and detachment has also been extensively investigated. For example, it has…
