A new derivation of the velocity correlations of a thermally fluctuating Brownian particle is shown by direct calculation from a stochastic hydrodynamic model in which the fluid-particle coupling is treated in a simple manner. The model significantly simplifies the calculation of statistics of a particle and has the virtue of being readily amenable to numerical simulation. To show that the mode...

We present a general solution of hydrodynamic resistance of close-approached slippery surfaces with a nanoasperity or a nanobubble as an idealized roughness effect. Based on Reynolds' lubrication theory and a simple slip boundary condition, the pressure distribution in the thin liquid film is predicted analytically and the total hydrodynamic resistance force at limiting cases are formulated in ...

The optimization of hydrodynamic cavitation as an AOP requires identifying the key parameters and studying their effects on the process. Specific simulations of hydrodynamic bubbles reveal that time scales play a major role on the process. Rarefaction/compression periods generate a number of opposing effects which have demonstrated to be quantitatively different from those found in ultrasonic c...
