Modelling of nanobubbles at the liquid-solid interface in water and oil

A model based on molecular dynamics is suggested for description of the shape of nanobubble on the liquid-solid interface. The model results are in good agreement with the known experimental AFM measurements. Nanobubbles in water and in oil are studied. The evolution, moving and interactions of nanobubbles are considered. The influence of different external factors (temperature of the liquid, temperature of the substrate, the gradient of temperature, external pressure (depth of the liquid)) and internal characteristics (surface tension, density) on the nanobubbles evolution and behaviour is investigated.

Automated summary

A molecular dynamics-based model is proposed for describing the shape of nanobubbles on the liquid-solid interface, with results in good agreement with experimental AFM measurements. The study investigates nanobubbles in water and in oil, considering their evolution, movement, and interactions. Furthermore, it explores the impact of various external factors and internal characteristics on the evolution and behavior of nanobubbles.
