Bubble dynamics and formation in fluids encompasses a multifaceted area of research that bridges fundamental fluid mechanics and industrial application. At its core, the study addresses the mechanisms ...

Scientists have developed a new computer simulation model that includes microbubble nucleation to explain the flow slippage of fluids inside pipes. This work may help improve the flow rate of viscous ...

The formation of air bubbles in a liquid appears very similar to its inverse process, the formation of liquid droplets from, say, a dripping water faucet. But the physics involved is actually quite ...

Findings show how to make confined bubbles develop uniformly, instead of in their usual scattershot way. The formation of air bubbles in a liquid appears very similar to its inverse process, the ...

A new discovery has reshaped our understanding of PCR chip technology: water vapor, not air expansion, is the primary culprit behind bubble formation in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based chips. This ...

Introduction Has your stomach ever ached so bad you felt as if it was blown up like a balloon—maybe after the big Thanksgiving meal? You may have had a large amount of gas trapped in your stomach and ...

French painters Jean Siméon Chardin and Édouard Manet both created well-known paintings that depicted children blowing bubbles through straw-like tubes, albeit painted more than a century apart. Those ...
