  2. Eternal inflation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_inflation

    The basic idea was to have a continuous "slow-roll" or slow evolution from false vacuum to true without making any bubbles. The improved model was called "new inflation." In 1983, Paul Steinhardt was the first to show that this "new inflation" does not have to end everywhere. [1]

  3. Quantum foam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_foam

    Quantum foam (or spacetime foam, or spacetime bubble) is a theoretical quantum fluctuation of spacetime on very small scales due to quantum mechanics. The theory predicts that at this small scale, particles of matter and antimatter are constantly created and destroyed.

  4. Bubble (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_(physics)

    Air bubbles rising from a scuba diver in water A soap bubble floating in the air. A bubble is a globule of a gas substance in a liquid. In the opposite case, a globule of a liquid in a gas, is called a drop. [1] Due to the Marangoni effect, bubbles may remain intact when they reach the surface of the immersive substance.

  5. Cavitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavitation

    The process of bubble generation, and the subsequent growth and collapse of the cavitation bubbles, results in very high energy densities and in very high local temperatures and local pressures at the surface of the bubbles for a very short time. The overall liquid medium environment, therefore, remains at ambient conditions.

  6. Rayleigh–Plesset equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh–Plesset_equation

    The Rayleigh–Plesset equation is often applied to the study of cavitation bubbles, shown here forming behind a propeller.. In fluid mechanics, the Rayleigh–Plesset equation or Besant–Rayleigh–Plesset equation is a nonlinear ordinary differential equation which governs the dynamics of a spherical bubble in an infinite body of incompressible fluid.

    Medium nap roller covers: For semi-smooth to rough textures, you should probably use medium nap roller covers. These typically range in length from ½ to ¾ of an inch, and they do best painting ...

  8. Supercavitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercavitation

    Cavitation is the formation of vapour bubbles in liquid caused by flow around an object. Bubbles form when water accelerates around sharp corners and the pressure drops below the vapour pressure. Pressure increases upon deceleration, and the water generally reabsorbs the vapour; however, vapour bubbles can implode and apply small concentrated ...

  9. Cavitation modelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavitation_modelling

    The discrete bubble model includes the effects of the surrounding fluid on the bubbles. Discrete bubble models, e.g. the Rayleigh-Plesset, [1] [2] Gilmore [3] and Keller-Miksis, [4] describe the relation between the external pressure, bubble radius and the velocity and acceleration of the bubble wall.
