Direct numerical simulations of microlayer formation during heterogeneous bubble nucleation
Mandeep Saini, Xiang Bin Chen, Stephane Zaleski +1
In this article, we present direct numerical simulation results for the expansion of spherical cap bubbles attached to a rigid wall due to a sudden drop in the ambient pressure. Th…
