Dataset for "Modeling of vertical microplastic transport by rising bubbles"
This is the dataset for a modeling study on how rising air bubbles in water transport microplastic particles vertically through the water column. The model helps explain why microplastics can be found distributed throughout ocean depths rather than concentrated only at the surface.
Modeling of vertical microplastic transport by rising bubbles
This study modeled the vertical transport of microplastic particles by rising bubbles in the ocean, finding that bubble-mediated transport significantly enhances surface concentration of microplastics and helps explain why surface measurements often show higher particle densities than bulk water predictions suggest.
The rise and rupture of bubbles: applications to biofouling, microplastic pollution, and sea spray aerosols
Researchers studied how rising air bubbles in water collect microplastics and bacteria on their surfaces and transport them to the liquid surface, and how bubble bursting then launches these particles into the air as sea spray — with implications for both aquatic contamination and airborne microplastic exposure.
Numerical simulations of bursting bubbles: effects of contamination on droplet ejection and micro- and nanoplastics transport
Scientists used computer simulations to study how tiny plastic particles get launched into the air when bubbles pop at water surfaces, like in oceans or wastewater treatment plants. They found that contaminants in the water change how bubbles burst and affect how many droplets containing microplastics are released into the air we breathe. This research helps us better understand how microplastics from polluted water can end up in the atmosphere and potentially impact human health through inhalation.
Microparticle dynamics in upper-ocean turbulence: Dataset for analysis, modeling & prediction
Researchers developed and released a comprehensive open-access dataset from nine direct numerical simulations of particle-laden turbulence designed to represent microplastic and biogenic debris dynamics in the upper-ocean layer, incorporating physicochemical effects of biofilm stickiness. The dataset is intended to facilitate modeling and prediction of microplastic distribution and aggregation patterns in marine turbulence, supporting development of mitigation strategies for ocean plastic pollution.
