Bubble generation is a ubiquitous and complex phenomenon occurring as a result of non-linear behavior of the free surfaces. Plunging breakers, spilling breakers and plunging jets are just a few scenarios where bubble generation occurs. Due to its complexity and our lack of complete understanding of this phenomenon, the models developed in the literature are far from being predictive (Moraga et ...

Nano materials have been widely used in laboratory and industrial scales in order to improve various properties of concrete and concrete mixture. The mainstream practice of the researches in this field is to add metallic nano-particles into the concrete mixture. The present research focuses on adding Micro-Nano Air Bubbles (MNAB) into water before mixing it with aggregate and cement mixtures. I...

Current state-of-the-art commercial star sensors typically weigh 15 pounds, attain 5 to 10 arcsecond accuracy, and use roughly 10 watts of power. Unfortunately, the current state-of-the-art commercial star sensors do not meet many of NASA’s “next-generation” spacecraft and instrument needs. Nor do they satisfy Air Force’s needs for micro/nano-satellite systems. In an effort to satisfy micro/nan...

In this review, inactivation and activation of microorganisms using fine bubbles are introduced. the first chapter, we introduce domestic overseas research trends sterilization methods ozone plasma. second focus on researches such as cleaning lipstick at cosmetic application, generation plasma-activated microbubbles for fresh foods verification underwater plasma characteristics under bubble dis...

in this paper, size distribution of nano-bubbles was measured by the reliable and fast method of laserdiffraction technique. nano-bubbles were produced using a nano-bubble generator designed and madebased on hydrodynamic cavitation phenomenon in venturi tubes. a central composite design withresponse surface methodology was used to conduct a five factor, five level factorial experimental designo...

A microfluidic platform for simultaneous patterned differentiation of multiple embryoid bodies of embryonic stem cells using air bubble is developed. Theoretical simulation and experiments using suspension of fluorescent particles or fluorescent solution showed that chemical gradients and little shear existed within the chamber of the devices. EB was pushed by air bubbles into the micro-chamber...

The standard treatment of altitude decompression sickness (aDCS) caused by nitrogen bubble formation is oxygen breathing and recompression. However, micro air bubbles (containing 79% nitrogen), injected into adipose tissue, grow and stabilize at 25 kPa regardless of continued oxygen breathing and the tissue nitrogen pressure. To quantify the contribution of oxygen to bubble growth at altitude, ...

Understanding the various mechanisms of nonlinear mode coupling in micro and nano resonators has become an imminent necessity for their successful implementation in practical applications. However, consistent, repeatable, and flexible experimental procedures to produce nonlinear mode coupling are lacking, and hence research into well-controlled experimental conditions is crucial. Here, we demon...

This paper discusses our efforts to simulate large systems of bubbles in complex geometries, with specific application to modeling cavitation instabilities. An important unstable regime is the transition from sheet-to-cloud cavitation (SCC). Experiments performed by Callenaere et al. (2001) highlight the unsteady flow structures of SCC, which is characterized by unstable regions of vapor bubble...
