Abstract

This paper contains a brief review of the author’s work on several problem related to bubble dynamics. A “state-of-the-art” model for spherical dynamics is formulated first. On the basis of this model several features of the thermo-fluid mechanical behavior of gas bubbles are then discussed and applications to sonochemistry and mass transfer described. The paper ends with a brief discussion of pressure wave propagation in bubbly liquid and the role played by bubbles in the generation of oceanic ambient noise.
