A lipid coated bubble (LCB) oscillator is a very interesting non-smooth oscillator with many important applications ranging from industry and chemistry to medicine. However, due to the complex behavior of the coating intermixed with the nonlinear behavior of the bubble itself, the dynamics of the LCB are not well understood. In this work, lipid coated Definity microbubbles (MBs) were sonicated with 25 MHz 30 cycle pulses with pressure amplitudes between 70kPa-300kPa. Here, we report higher order subharmonics in the scattered signals of single MBs at low amplitude high frequency ultrasound excitations. Experimental observations reveal the generation of period 2(P2), P3, and two different P4 oscillations at low excitation amplitude. Despite the reduced damping of the uncoated bubble system, such enhanced nonlinear oscillations has not been observed and can not be theoretically explained for the uncoated bubble. To investigate the mechanism of the enhanced nonlinearity, the bifurcation structure of the lipid coated MBs is studied for a wide range of MBs sizes and shell parameters. Consistent with the experimental results, we show that this unique oscillator can exhibit chaotic oscillations and higher order subharmonics at excitation amplitudes considerably below those predicted by the uncoated oscillator. Buckling or rupture of the shell and the dynamic variation of the shell elasticity causes the intensified non-linearity at low excitations. The simulated scattered pressure by single MBs are in good agreement with the experimental signals.

We show that simulations of polymer rheology at a fluctuating mesoscopic scale and at the macroscopic scale where flow instabilities occur can be achieved at the same time with dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) technique.} We model the visco-elasti city of polymer liquids by introducing a finite fraction of dumbbells in the standard DPD fluid. The stretching and tumbling statistics of these dumbbells is in agreement with what is known for isolated polymers in shear flows. At the same time, the model exhibits behaviour reminiscent of drag reduction in the turbulent state: as the polymer fraction increases, the onset of turbulence in plane Couette flow is pushed to higher Reynolds numbers. The method opens up the possibility to model nontrivial rheological conditions with ensuing coarse grained polymer statistics.
We propose a new approach to the generation of acoustic frequency combs (AFC) -- signals with spectra containing equidistant coherent peaks. AFCs are essential for a number of sensing and measurement applications, where the established technology of optical frequency combs suffers from fundamental physical limitations. Our proof-of-principle experiments demonstrate that nonlinear oscillations of a gas bubble cluster in water insonated by a low-pressure single-frequency ultrasound wave produce signals with spectra consisting of equally spaced peaks originating from the interaction of the driving ultrasound wave with the response of the bubble cluster at its natural frequency. The so-generated AFC posses essential characteristics of optical frequency combs and thus, similar to their optical counterparts, can be used to measure various physical, chemical and biological quantities.
Acoustic frequency combs leverage unique properties of the optical frequency comb technology in high-precision measurements and innovative sensing in optically inaccessible environments such as under water, under ground or inside living organisms. Be cause acoustic combs with wide spectra would be required for many of these applications but techniques of their generation have not yet been developed, here we propose a new approach to the creation of spectrally-wide acoustic combs using oscillations of polydisperse gas bubble clusters in liquids. By means of numerical simulations we demonstrate that clusters consisting of bubbles with precisely controlled sizes can produce wide acoustic spectra composed of equally-spaced coherent peaks. We show that under typical experimental conditions bubble clusters remain stable over time required for a reliable recording of comb signals. We also demonstrate that the spectral composition of combs can be tuned by adjusting the number and size of bubbles in a cluster.
Liquid drops and vibrations are ubiquitous in both everyday life and technology, and their combination can often result in fascinating physical phenomena opening up intriguing opportunities for practical applications in biology, medicine, chemistry a nd photonics. Here we study, theoretically and experimentally, the response of pancake-shaped liquid drops supported by a solid plate that vertically vibrates at a single, low acoustic range frequency. When the vibration amplitudes are small, the primary response of the drop is harmonic at the frequency of the vibration. However, as the amplitude increases, the half-frequency subharmonic Faraday waves are excited parametrically on the drop surface. We develop a simple hydrodynamic model of a one-dimensional liquid drop to analytically determine the amplitudes of the harmonic and the first superharmonic components of the linear response of the drop. In the nonlinear regime, our numerical analysis reveals an intriguing cascade of instabilities leading to the onset of subharmonic Faraday waves, their modulation instability and chaotic regimes with broadband power spectra. We show that the nonlinear response is highly sensitive to the ratio of the drop size and Faraday wavelength. The primary bifurcation of the harmonic waves is shown to be dominated by a period-doubling bifurcation, when the drop height is comparable with the width of the viscous boundary layer. Experimental results conducted using low-viscosity ethanol and high-viscocity canola oil drops vibrated at 70 Hz are in qualitative agreement with the predictions of our modelling.
We numerically investigate the effect of non-condensable gas inside a vapor bubble on bubble dynamics, collapse pressure and pressure impact of spherical and aspherical bubble collapses. Free gas inside a vapor bubble has a damping effect that can we aken the pressure wave and enhance the bubble rebound. To estimate this effect numerically, we derive and validate a multi-component model for vapor bubbles containing gas. For the cavitating liquid and the non-condensable gas, we employ a homogeneous mixture model with a coupled equation of state for all components. The cavitation model for the cavitating liquid is a barotropic thermodynamic equilibrium model. Compressibility of all phases is considered in order to capture the shock wave of the bubble collapse. After validating the model with an analytical energy partitioning model, simulations of collapsing wall-attached bubbles with different stand-off distances are performed. The effect of the non-condensable gas on rebound and damping of the emitted shock wave is well captured.
