IGM Colloquium: Prof. James (Jacy) Bird, Boston University

— Bursting bubbles and the search for the smallest jet droplet by Prof. James (Jacy) Bird, Boston University. When a bubble bursts at an interface, the capillary waves create an intriguing cusp, which is responsible for an upward jet that can break into droplets. This jet drop phenomena has been studied for over 60 years and is relevant to a variety of topics including the transport of respiratory pathogens and cloud-forming marine aerosols. Yet, several fundamental questions remain, including the physics that sets the size of the smallest jet droplets.
