Hydrogels with intricate 3D networks and high hydrophilicity have qualities resembling those
of biological tissues, making them ideal candidates for use as smart biomedical materials …

Laser-induced transfer (LIT) is a well-established direct printing approach for fabricating
structures with a feature size of≤ 10 μm and various dimensions. LIT enables the digital …

The COVID-19 pandemic is endangering the world due to the spread of respiration droplets
with viruses. Medical workers and frontline staff need to wear respirators to protect …

Collapsing cavitation bubbles produce intense microscopic flows. Here, in an aqueous
environment, we seed single laser-induced bubbles (diameter about one millimeter) in …

The inception of a cavitation bubble in a liquid by focusing a short and intense laser pulse
near its free surface develops not only an upwards directed jet, but a second jet of opposite …

A rapidly growing bubble close to a free surface induces jetting: a central jet protruding
outwards and a crown surrounding it at later stages. While the formation mechanism of the …

Abstract The Boundary Integral Method (BIM) has been widely applied to simulate oscillating
bubbles, for its high efficiency and accuracy. A conventional BIM assumes the fluid …

Laser-assisted manufacturing has been in the rise for advanced and additive manufacturing
purposes. Recently, laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) has emerged as a highly effective …

We investigated secondary cavitation bubble dynamics during laser-induced bubble
formation in a small container with a partially confined free surface and elastic thin walls. We …

We present a generalisation of the all-Mach solver of Fuster and Popinet (2018)[1] to
account for heat diffusion between two different compressible phases. By solving a two-way …
