Surf sounds study to investigate bubble size data for industrial and environmental use
From the ‘plink’ of a single drop of liquid falling into a glass of water to the roar of ocean surf, the formation of bubbles makes sounds familiar to everyone.
These sounds contain valuable data on bubble sizes and numbers that have applications not only in many different industries, but also in determining how much carbon dioxide the Earth’s oceans are absorbing.
Funded by a $525,000 Australian Research Council Discovery Project grant, Swinburne University of Technology researchers are studying the dynamics of bubbles in waves.
