A lattice-Boltzmann boundary rule has been developed to recover the slip boundary condition at a liquid-gas interface. This rule enables one to use a single-component lattice-Boltzmann model to simulate bubbly flows where bubbles are nearly spherical and coalescence is prohibited. Numerical tests showed this method to be robust and accurate in simulating both steady and unsteady flows around spherical bubbles in the Reynolds number range 0

The increasing demand for sustainable food packaging has driven the development of films based on biopolymers. However, enhancing their functional properties remains a challenge. In the current study, potato starch-pectin (PSP) composite films were fabricated and enriched with juniper berry essential oil (JBEO) to improve their physicochemical properties.

Two-dimensional materials and their heterostructures have significant potential for future developments in materials science and optoelectronics due to their unique properties. However, their fabrication and transfer process often introduce impurities and contaminants that degrade their intrinsic qualities. To address this issue, current atomic force microscopy (AFM) probe contact mode methods provide a solution by allowing cleaning and real-time observation of the nanoscale cleaning process.

We investigate experimentally and numerically the interaction between a spherical cavitation bubble and a wall-bounded toroidal cavitation bubble. We demonstrate that shock wave focusing following toroidal bubble initiation induces the formation of micro-jets that pierce the spherical bubble in the torus-axis direction away from the surface, strongest in the anti-phase scenario. The velocity of micro-jets is determined by the initial standoff distance of the spherical bubble from the wall and thus from the toroidal bubble, with peak jet velocities approaching 1000m/s.

Both the biological effects and acoustic emissions generated by cavitation are functions of bubble dynamics. Monitoring of acoustic emissions is therefore desirable to improve treatment safety and efficacy. The relationship between the emission spectra and bubble dynamics is, however, complex.

The objective of this work is the study of gas microbubble dissolution in a carrier liquid. To achieve this, we will analyze, using microfluidic techniques, the formation and evolution of carbon dioxide (CO) gas microbubbles in silicone oil, monitoring the size, position, and distance between the formed bubbles as they advance through a microchannel. This work consists of two parts (Part I and Part II): in Part I, we analyze the mechanisms determining the variation in the spatial frequency of bubbles as they move through the microchannel, while Part II examines the evolution of their size and demonstrates the utility of the device for obtaining diffusion coefficients and Henry's constant for the gases used.
