We implement a semi-analytic scheme for numerically computing high order polynomial approximations of the stable and unstable manifolds associated with the fixed points of the normal form for the family of quadratic volume-preserving diffeomorphisms with quadratic inverse. We use this numerical scheme to study some hyperbolic dynamics associated with an invariant structure called a vortex bubbl...

This paper presents a 3D numerical study of the bubble generation process in a T-junction, performed with the commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics solver ANSYS Fluent v15.0.7. Numerical results on bubble generation frequency, bubble velocity, volume void fraction, bubble volume, and characteristics bubble lengths are compared with experimental data. Additionally, a new simple tting for the b...

Bubble cavitation is one of the major mechanisms for ultrasound-induced bioeffects. Characterising the bubble dynamics, expansion and collapse, is of importance in understanding the cavitation phenomenon and estimating the consequent outcome. In this study, Doppler ultrasound method was firstly used to measure the bubble wall velocity. Bubbles were generated in water using a beam of high-intens...

We propose a symmetry reduction technique whereby molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for spherically symmetric gas bubbles can be accelerated. Results for an imploding Xenon bubble containing fifty million particles — the smallest measured sonoluminescing system — are presented.

We report the first measurement of the dynamics of bubble formation in double-stranded DNA. Fluctuations of fluorescence of a synthetic DNA construct, internally tagged with a fluorophore and a quencher, are monitored by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. The relaxation dynamics follow a multistate relaxation kinetics, with a characteristic time scale of 50 microseconds. A simple model of b...

Cavitation bubbles were generated by the 193 nm argon fluoride excimer laser delivered with a specially designed tip into absorbing NaCl solution. The dynamics of bubble formation and collapse have been studied using fast flash photomicrography. The bubble dimensions were measured at different time delays as a function of the tip exit diameter, the energy fluence of the laser, and the NaCl conc...
