Toward a Complete Understanding of Quasi-Static Bubble Growth and Departure
PNAS ∙ February 2024
The fundamental mechanism governing the quasi-static bubble growth and detachment holds significant relevance across a broad spectrum of engineering scenarios including the nuclear, chemical, and food industries, etc. This study introduces an approach for comprehending the bubble’s shapes through the resolution of capillary equations. A bubble map is generated, offering insights into predicting the bubble’s shape considering the fluid properties, cavity dimensions, and bubble sizes. The lifespan of a quasi-static bubble can be effectively traced using the bubble map. Additionally, by linking dynamic contact angles and wetting hysteresis to bubble growth, this novel approach not only enhances our comprehension of bubble behavior but also sheds light on phenomena such as mode changes in bubble motion and premature detachment.
