Gas bubble dynamics and nucleation processes underpin a wide range of natural and industrial phenomena, from volcanic eruptions and decompression sickness to advanced chemical reactors and materials ...
It is a puzzle long known among experts and very relevant in many industrial production processes: a jump discontinuity in the rise velocity of gas bubbles in so-called viscoelastic fluids.
Models that inform how magma moves and volcanic eruptions unfold may need an update, according to a new study. It reports that gas bubbles in magmas can form through the mechanical forces of shear as ...
