Bubble Nucleation and Dynamics

This book treats various gaseous and vaporous bubble nucleation phenomena using the molecular cluster model and how a critical cluster becomes a critical size bubble. Examples of gaseous bubble formation are bubble formation in gas-water solutions, the formation of microcellular foams in polymers and the nucleation of nano-sized H2O bubbles in rhyolite melts.

Examples of the vapor bubble formation include bubble formation on a cavity-free surface, and bubble nucleation near the absolute zero temperature by quantum tunneling in liquid helium. For bubble dynamics phenomena, a set of homologous solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations for evolving spherical bubbles are used to treat gaseous bubble growth in organic solutions, polymer solutions, and in viscous rhyolitic melts.

The growth and collapse of laser-induced vapor bubbles in liquid is discussed as an example of homologous motion of the spherical object. Sonoluminescence phenomena in water and in sulfuric acid solutions, the pressure and shock wave propagation in bubbly mixtures, the gravitational collapse of Newtonian stars, and the core collapse of supernovas are also treated using these homologous solutions.
