On the possibility of homogeneous nucleation of water droplets and/or ice crystals during the bounces of a cavitation bubble
Olivier Louisnard, Fabienne Espitalier
Acoustic cavitation is known to trigger ice nucleation in supercooled water. Several competing and still debatable mechanisms have been proposed in the literature and are related t…
Segregation of a liquid mixture by a radially oscillating bubble
Olivier Louisnard, Francisco Javier Gomez Romain Grossier
A theoretical formulation is proposed for forced mass transport by pressure gradients in a liquid binary mixture around a spherical bubble undergoing volume oscillations in a sound…
A simple model of ultrasound propagation in a cavitating liquid. Part II: Primary Bjerknes force and bubble structures
Olivier Louisnard
In a companion paper, a reduced model for propagation of acoustic waves in a cloud of inertial cavitation bubbles was proposed. The wave attenuation was calculated directly from th…
A simple model of ultrasound propagation in a cavitating liquid. Part I: Theory, nonlinear attenuation and traveling wave generation
Olivier Louisnard
The bubbles involved in sonochemistry and other applications of cavitation oscillate inertially. A correct estimation of the wave attenuation in such bubbly media requires a realis…
Analytical expressions for primary Bjerknes force on inertial cavitation bubbles
Olivier Louisnard
The primary Bjerknes force is responsible for the quick translational motion of radially oscillating bubbles in a sound field. The problem is classical in the case of small-amplitu…
