Stabilization of vapor-rich bubble in ethanol/water mixtures and enhanced flow around the bubble
Mizuki Kato, Kyoko Namura, Shinya Kawai +3
This study investigates the behavior of microbubbles generated by the local heating of an ethanol/water mixture and the surrounding flow. The mixture is photothermally heated by fo…

Effects of Marangoni and drag forces on the transition from vapor-rich to air-rich bubbles
Kyoko Namura, Takuya Iwasaki, Kaoru Nakajima +1
In this study, we investigated the formation of air-rich microbubbles through local photothermal heating of non-degassed water. When non-degassed water is locally heated, vapor-ric…
