Area of Science:

  • Fluid dynamics
  • Thermodynamics
  • Nanoscale science

Background:

  • Vapor nanobubbles form around nanoparticles in water when heated by laser pulses.
  • Understanding nanobubble dynamics is crucial for interpreting experimental results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the dynamics of vapor nanobubbles in water using simulations.

  • Found temperature gradients concentrated in the liquid, following the saturation line.
  • Detected a pressure wave propagating near the speed of sound, with initial internal pressure exceeding Laplace pressure before viscous relaxation.

    • Conclusions:

    • Nanoscale effects critically influence vapor nanobubble thermodynamics.
    • Simulations provide insights into the rapid thermal and pressure transients observed in experiments involving laser-heated nanoparticles.
