Research Group Prof. Supponen

The research in our group aims at broadening the understanding of various small-scale multiphase fluid phenomena, such as bubble and droplet dynamics and the resulting fast flows. One of our key objectives is to control bubble oscillations to exploit their energy-focusing characteristics. We also develop experimental techniques to observe and characterise high-speed multiphase fluid phenomena optically and acoustically. Our diagnostics methods include ultra-high-speed imaging up to 10 million frames per second. The nature of the research is both fundamental and applied.

We focus on the following three research areas:
Fundamentals of cavitation and bubble oscillations
Bubbles and droplets in biomedical applications
Engineering applications for impulsive multiphase fluid phenomena
