# gst: apropos of synchronization of large bubble clouds, self-oscillating acoustic bubbles that bounce

<< Self-oscillations underlie many natural phenomena such as heartbeat, ocean waves, and the pulsation of variable stars. (..) In this study, (AA) consider two closely spaced bubbles pulsating in the kHz range in response to ultrasonic excitation. A translational bouncing motion emerges from their interaction with a much lower frequency than the bubble pulsation frequency. >>

Their analysis << reveals that the observed bubble bouncing exhibits the main features of self-oscillation, such as negative damping and the emergence of a limit cycle. These results highlight unexpected nonlinear effects in the field of microbubbles and give insights into the understanding of synchronization in large bubble clouds. >>️

# gst: apropos of bouncing, even balls that undergo rolling are typically found to lift off slipping.

<< A detailed set of experiments are described that capture over a 1000 different instances of the bounce of a golf ball. (..) Data are presented from two different turfs; one artificial and one from a typical tee. >>

<< A better fit to the data is found using a non-physical piecewise-affine landing to lift-off relationship, which distinguishes between cases that bounce in pure slip from those that undergo rolling. Nevertheless, even balls that undergo rolling are typically found to lift off slipping, having undergone spin reversal. >>

# gst: apropos of apparent erratic dynamics, the self-organization of drops bouncing on a vertically-vibrated surface

<< A drop bouncing on a vertically-vibrated surface may self-propel forward by Faraday waves and travels along a fluid interface. >>

<< A fine anal­ysis of the pairwise density function shows that while being dynamic, time-evolving and presenting many in­dications of a good mixing in the phase space, the sys­tem adopts in average preferred distances which origin has been rationalized by analysing the internal symme­try of the waves. Thus (AA) have shed light numerically on a statistical many-body wave self-organisation in an apparent erratic dynamics. >>

# gst: when a soliton juggles ('catches' and 'throws') droplets

<< Jugglers normally work with solid objects, but a research team has now demonstrated a system that juggles liquid drops. (AA)  have previously shown that liquid drops can bounce in place above the surface of the same liquid—or bounce while moving across the surface—if the container is continuously vibrated (..) In these past experiments, the surface was nearly flat, except for waves generated by the bouncing drop. In the new work by undergraduate student Camila Sandivari of the University of Chile and her colleagues, the vibrations cause the liquid surface to form a large standing wave that actively “catches” and “throws” the drop during each cycle of its oscillation. The trapping of the drop is similar in principle to other types of wave traps, such as laser-based optical tweezers, and the system could potentially lead to new types of traps for larger objects. >>

AA << placed water mixed with a dye and a surface-tension-reducing agent in a 20-cm-long, 2.6-cm-wide basin that supports an unusual type of surface wave when the basin is vibrated in a specific frequency range. In this wave, rather than a series of oscillating peaks and valleys, there is only a single standing wave peak, called a soliton. However, this peak doesn’t oscillate uniformly across the basin’s short dimension (the width). A peak appears at one of the long walls coincident with a valley at the opposite wall, and then the peak and the valley switch places moments later, keeping a relatively flat “node” line along the central long axis of the basin. >>

AA << used a pipette to place a few-millimeter-wide drop of the same fluid just above the oscillating soliton, close to one of the long walls, and found that drops could be juggled for up to 90 minutes. The team attributes this unusual stability in part to a property of the soliton: if the drop wanders off-center, the oscillating surface wave pulls it back toward its center, similar to the way the laser field in optical tweezers is able to stably hold a small particle at its center. >>
