Bubble plumes are ubiquitous in nature. Instances in the natural world include the release of methane and carbon dioxide from the seabed or the bottom of a lake and from a subsea oil well blowout. This review describes the dynamics of bubble plumes and their various spreading patterns in the surrounding environment. We explore how the motion of the plume is affected by the density stratification in the external environment, as well as by internal processes of dissolution of the bubbles and chemical reaction. We discuss several examples, such as natural disasters, global warming, and fishing techniques used by some whales and dolphins.

 自然界中的气泡羽流


气泡羽流在自然界中无处不在。自然界中的例子包括从海底或湖底以及海底油井喷中释放的甲烷和二氧化碳。本文综述了气泡羽流的动力学及其在周围环境中的各种传播模式。我们探讨了羽流的运动如何受到外部环境中密度分层以及气泡溶解和化学反应的内部过程的影响。我们讨论了几个例子，例如自然灾害、全球变暖以及一些鲸鱼和海豚使用的捕鱼技术。
