When illuminated by a resonant laser, noble metal nanoparticles immersed in liquids can
efficiently produce a huge amount of heat and rapidly vaporize surrounding liquid, leading to …

The transition from nucleate to film boiling on micro/nanotextured surfaces is of crucial
importance in a number of practical applications, where it needs to be avoided to enable …

This study investigates the behavior of microbubbles generated by the local heating of an
ethanol/water mixture and the surrounding flow. The mixture is photothermally heated by …

In this study, the round-trip motion of air-rich bubbles exhaled from a water vapor-rich bubble
was investigated. The local heating of non-degassed water produced a vapor-rich bubble …

Recently, we demonstrated that the local heating of degassed water can generate water
vapor microbubbles and induce a rapid flow around the bubble. Although flow generation …

The boiling crisis is widely known as the greatest challenge that limits the working capacity
of nucleate boiling. This phenomenon takes place when excessive heat supply creates a …
