Full event details

Anyone who has shaken a bottle of fizzy drink and then removed the lid knows that bubbles are explosive. There are many practical applications where bubble dynamics play an important role. This talk will consider three separate cases. First we will investigate cavitation which has a wide range of military, industrial and biomedical applications. Next we will examine dissolved air flotation which is a widely used process for drinking water purification. Finally we will consider the role of bubble formation in the modelling of decompression sickness. Bubbles are fascinating!
