Turbulence and capillary waves on bubbles.

Published: August 2021

We present a link between the theory of deep water waves and that of bubble surface perturbations. Theory correspondence is shown analytically for small wavelengths in the linear regime and investigated numerically in the nonlinear regime. To do so, we develop the second-order spatial perturbation equations for the Rayleigh-Plesset equation and solve them numerically. Our code is publicly available. Studying capillary waves on stable bubbles, we recreate the Kolmogorov-Zakharov spectrum predicted by weak turbulence theory, putting wave turbulence theory to use for bubbles. In this investigation, it seems that curvature does not affect turbulent properties. The calculated bubble surface responds qualitatively to low gravity experiments. The link demonstrated opens new possibilities for studying several bubble phenomena, including sonoluminescence and cavitation, using the extensive tools developed in the wave turbulence framework.

Synchronized acoustic emission and high-speed imaging of cavitation-induced atomization: The role of shock waves.

Ultrason Sonochem

January 2025

School of Engineering Computing and Mathematics, Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, UK; Department of Materials, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK.

This study experimentally investigates the role of cavitation-induced shock waves in initiating and destabilizing capillary (surface) waves on a droplet surface, preceding atomization. Acoustic emissions and interfacial wave dynamics were simultaneously monitored in droplets of different liquids (water, isopropyl alcohol and glycerol), using a calibrated fiber-optic hydrophone and high-speed imaging. Spectral analysis of the hydrophone data revealed distinct subharmonic frequency peaks in the acoustic spectrum correlated with the wavelength of capillary waves, which were optically captured during the onset of atomization from the repetitive imploding bubbles.

Non-invasive, low intensity focused ultrasound is an emerging neuromodulation technique that offers the potential for precision, personalized therapy. An increasing body of research has identified mechanosensitive ion channels that can be modulated by FUS and support acute electrical activity in neurons. However, neuromodulatory effects that persist from hours to days have also been reported.
