When a liquid jet impacts a pool of the same liquid, a bubble cloud is generated below the surface: we address here the question of the vertical size of this bubble cloud. We have measured this size on experiments spanning a large range of scales, from 0.3 to 210 mm in jet diameter, and from 0.2 to 9.5 m in height of fall. We show that a simple model based on a balance of forces at the scale of the bubble cloud is able to account for all experimental results over this wide range of scales and types of jets. We derive from this model a simple expression for the prediction of the bubble cloud penetration depth.

Cavitation plays a crucial role in the reliability of components in refrigeration systems. The properties of refrigerants change significantly with temperature, thereby amplifying the impact of thermodynamic effects. This study, based on the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) method and the Schnerr-Sauer (S-S) cavitation model, investigates the transient cavitating flow characteristics of the R134a refrigerant in a Venturi tube (VT).

Visible and microwave satellite measurements can provide the global whitecap fraction. The bubble clouds are three-dimensional structures, and a space-based lidar can provide complementary observations of the bubble depth. Here, we use lidar measurements of the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) satellite to quantify global bubble depth from the depolarization.

Objective: Low-intensity histotripsy (LIH) is a novel and safe technique for tissue ablation. This study aimed to explore the effects of LIH on canine prostate tissue and identify the degree of acute injury to the gland.
Methods: We constructed and evaluated two types of acoustically responsive droplet (ARD) emulsions using either perfluoropentane (PFP) with a lipid shell or perfluoromethyl-cyclopentane (PFMCP) with lauromacrogol (L) injection.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and malignant type of primary brain tumor. Even after surgery and chemoradiotherapy, residual GBM cells can infiltrate the healthy brain parenchyma to form secondary tumors. To mitigate GBM recurrence, we recently developed an injectable hydrogel that can be crosslinked in the resection cavity to attract, collect, and ablate residual GBM cells.
