Abstract

The motion of bubbles and droplets is ubiquitous in a variety of natural processes and technological applications, such as boiling heat transfer, steam generators of nuclear power plants, unit operations of the chemical engineering (e.g. distillation, absorption columns, bubble reactors), micro-devices, among others [8].
