Surfactant effect on collective bubble bursting and aerosol emission
Megan Mazzatenta, Samuel M. Koblensky, Luc Deike
Bubbles entrained by breaking waves rise to the ocean surface where they cluster and burst, emitting sea spray aerosols into the atmosphere. Bubble bursting thereby links seawater…
Surface bubble lifetime in the presence of a turbulent air flow, and the effect of surface layer renewal
Tristan Aurégan, Luc Deike
Surface bubbles in the ocean are critical in moderating several fluxes between the atmosphere and the ocean. In this paper, we experimentally investigate the drainage and lifetime…
Drainage and lifetime of thin liquid films: the role of salinity and convective evaporation
Tristan Aurégan, Luc Deike
We experimentally investigate the effect of salinity and atmospheric humidity on the drainage and lifetime of thin liquid films motivated by conditions relevant to air-sea exchange…
Droplet Nucleation In a Rapid Expansion Aerosol Chamber
Martin A Erinin, Cole R. Sagan, Ilian Ahmed +4
We present a new experimental facility to investigate the nucleation and growth of liquid droplets and ice particles under controlled conditions and characterize processes relevant…
Momentum fluxes in wind-forced breaking waves
Nicolò Scapin, Jiarong Wu, J. Thomas Farrar +3
We investigate the momentum fluxes between a turbulent air boundary layer and a growing-breaking wave field by solving the air-water two-phase Navier-Stokes equations through direc…
