Abstract
Air bubbles are a promising means of controlling fouling for a range of applications, particularly delaying fouling in marine environments. This work investigates the mechanism by which the collision of an air bubble with a solid removes adsorbed bacteria. A key feature of the work is that the numbers of bacteria were monitored via video microscopy throughout the collision; so, we were able to explore the mechanism of bacteria removal. When a...
