Nucleation threshold and deactivation mechanisms of nanoscopic cavitation nuclei
Bram M. Borkent, Stephan Gekle, Andrea Prosperetti +1
The acoustic nucleation threshold for bubbles trapped in cavities has theoretically been predicted within the crevice theory by Atchley & Prosperetti [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 86, 1065-…
Preferred sizes and ordering in surface nanobubble populations
Bram M. Borkent, Holger Schoenherr, Gerard Le Caer +2
Two types of homogeneous surface nanobubble populations, created by different means, are analyzed statistically on both their sizes and spatial positions. In the first type (create…
Dynamics of the spontaneous breakdown of superhydrophobicity
C. Pirat, M. Sbragaglia, A. M. Peters +4
Drops deposited on rough and hydrophobic surfaces can stay suspended with gas pockets underneath the liquid, then showing very low hydrodynamic resistance. When this superhydrophob…
Spontaneous Breakdown of Superhydrophobicity
Mauro Sbragaglia, Alisia M. Peters, Christophe Pirat +4
In some cases water droplets can completely wet micro-structured superhydrophobic surfaces. The {\it dynamics} of this rapid process is analyzed by ultra-high-speed imaging. Depend…
Superstability of Surface Nanobubbles
Bram M. Borkent, Stephan M. Dammer, Holger Schoenherr +2
Shock wave induced cavitation experiments and atomic force microscopy measurements of flat polyamide and hydrophobized silicon surfaces immersed in water are performed. It is shown…
