TLDR
In this article, approximate solutions for the rate of solution by diffusion of a gas bubble in an undersaturated liquid-gas solution are presented, with the neglect of the translational motion of the bubble.
Abstract
With the neglect of the translational motion of the bubble, approximate solutions may be found for the rate of solution by diffusion of a gas bubble in an undersaturated liquid‐gas solution; approximate solutions are also presented for the rate of growth of a bubble in an oversaturated liquid‐gas solution. The effect of surface tension on the diffusion process is also considered.

Ultrasound-mediated destruction of contrast microbubbles used for medical imaging and drug delivery

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the destruction process of microbubbles in a commercially available contrast agent by measuring the attenuation of ultrasound through it, and they find that at low excitation, the attenuration level decreases with time, indicating destruction of micro bubbles.

Circulatory bubble dynamics: From physical to biological aspects

TL;DR: Bubbles can form in the body during or after decompression from pressure exposures such as those undergone by scuba divers, astronauts, caisson and tunnel workers, and bubble growth and detachment physics becomes significant in predicting and controlling the probability of these bubbles causing mechanical problems by blocking vessels, displacing tissues, or inducing an inflammatory cascade if they persist for too long in theBody before being dissolved.

Bulk Nanobubbles from Acoustically Cavitated Aqueous Organic Solvent Mixtures

TL;DR: The existence and stability of bulk nanobubbles in various aqueous organic solvent mixtures are investigated and they are characterized in terms of their bubble size distribution, bubble number density, and zeta potential.

Influence of bubble size and blood perfusion on absorption of gas bubbles in tissues.

TL;DR: A mathematical theory to predict behavior of tissue gas bubbles such as those occurring in decompression sickness and assumptions that unsteady-state effects and surface tension are negligible allow the rate of growth or decay of small bubbles to be approximated by a relatively simple differential equation.

Change of size of air bubbles in water containing a small dissolved air content

TL;DR: In this paper, the rates of growth and collapse of air bubbles in distilled degassed water are studied, and the effective diffusion coefficient for air through the bubble walls is low at very small bubble diameters.

The Dynamics of Cavitation Bubbles

TL;DR: In this paper, three regimes of liquid flow over a body are defined, namely: (a) noncavitating flow, (b) cavitating flow with a relatively small number of cavitation bubbles in the field of flow, and (c) caviting flow with one large cavity about the body.
