TL;DR: Comparison of the observed bubble dynamics to the predictions of the macroscopic Rayleigh–Plesset (RP) equation, augmented with thermal fluctuations, demonstrates that the growth of nanoscale bubbles is governed by viscous forces.

TL;DR: The importance of modeling for the understanding of heterogeneous ice nucleation processes and their impacts was highlighted at two international workshops on ice nucleations in 2015 and 2016 as mentioned in this paper, where experts from these workshops identified the following research needs: (1) uncovering the molecular identity of active sites for ice-nucleation; (2) the importance of modelling for understanding of heterogeneity in heterogeneous ICs; (3) identifying and quantifying contributions of biological ICs from natural and managed environments; (4) examining the role of aging in ice nuclei; (5) conducting

TL;DR: Two grid-based methods to detect bubbles in metastable water specifically designed to address two significant flaws are presented, the M-method and the V-method, which are computationally inexpensive such that they can be used in molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations of cavitation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that such a membrane is equivalent to a system of effective charges located at opposite sides of the membrane offering a computationally efficient way to model correlation effects in water-filled nanopore membranes.

TL;DR: The entropy of bubbles in water is computed as a function of their volume over a wide range of tensions from free energy calculations and it is found that the bubble entropy is an important contribution to the free energy that significantly lowers the barrier to bubble nucleation, thereby facilitating cavitation.
