Funded Activity Summary

Surf sounds: predicting the valuable data of bubble sound emissions. This project aims to predict natural bubble sounds. These audio signals contain data on the bubble size, which controls oxygen absorption, and thus product quality, in minerals, food, pharmaceuticals and water industries. Bubbles also control ocean carbon-dioxide absorption. Such gas absorption is almost impossible to monitor with laboratory sensors. In the ocean, sensors are quickly blocked by algae. In industry, liquids are opaque or too hot. However, the easily-measured sounds get through. Experiments and computer simulations would allow the sound volume as well as frequencies emitted by bubbles to be predicted. This would enable valuable data to be interpreted from complex sounds, transforming industrial and environmental measurements.
