Bubble Dynamics in Fine Droplets: Behaviour and Control

该项目的主要愿景是更深入地了解微米级液滴内气泡的形成、生长和破裂，并在此过程中提供必要的技术基础，以推进轻合金制造、雾化、非侵入性医学治疗、药物输送和热能储存系统中的成核/凝固等一系列新兴技术的发展。预期结果包括新的实验证据和验证的数学模型，用于分析被细液滴封装的气泡。研究成果将显著提升澳大利亚在密闭空间气泡动力学及相关工业应用领域的研究和创新能力。

The principal vision in this project is to gain a deeper understanding of the formation, growth and collapse of bubbles within micron-size droplets and, in doing so, provide the technical underpinning necessary to advance the development of a range of emerging technologies in the light alloys manufacturing, atomisation, non-invasive medical therapy, drug delivery, and nucleation / solidification in thermal energy storage systems. Expected outcomes include new experimental evidence and validated mathematical models for the analysis of bubbles encapsulated by fine droplets. The outcomes should significantly enhance Australia’s research and innovation capacity in the field of confined space bubble dynamics and related industrial applications.
