Breaking waves modulate the transfer of energy, momentum, and mass between the ocean
and atmosphere, controlling processes critical to the climate system, from gas exchange of …

Drip**, jetting and tip streaming have been studied up to a certain point separately by both
fluid mechanics and microfluidics communities, the former focusing on fundamental aspects …

Jets, ie collimated streams of matter, occur from the microscale up to the large-scale
structure of the universe. Our focus will be mostly on surface tension effects, which result …

The strong bubble interactions and bursting behaviors near a free surface are studied
numerically with a compressible two-phase flow solver. The interface is captured by the …

Bubble-bursting aerosols have a key role in mass and momentum transfer across interfaces.
Previous studies report that the bursting of a millimetre-sized bare bubble at an aqueous …

Microplastics are globally ubiquitous in marine environments, and their concentration is
expected to continue rising at significant rates as a result of human activity. They present a …

Sea spray is the main source of aerosols above the ocean. One of the pathways for sea
spray production is through bubble bursting, which ejects myriads of droplets. We present a …

We show that when water droplets gently impact on a hydrophobic surface, the droplet
shoots out a violent jet, the velocity of which can be up to 40 times the drop impact speed. As …

Superhydrophobic surfaces generate very high contact angles as a result of their
microstructure. The impact of a water drop on such a surface shows unusual features, such …

This work presents current advances in the numerical simulation of two-phase flows using a
volume of fluid (VOF) method, balanced-force surface tension and quad/octree adaptive …
