There exists a critical Weber number which separates, on average, breaking from non-breaking bubbles. However, this limit is only defined in a statistical sense as an a priori stable bubble can encounter a large velocity or pressure fluctuation and break. In addition, real flows are rarely homogeneous and stationary. In this work, we aim at quantifying the probability for a bubble to break as a function of the time spent within the turbulence region and to rationalize the bubble breakup time.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nTo do so, running direct numerical simulations, we first characterize the linear stochastic deformations of bubbles in homogeneous isotropic turbulence. We show that a 1D model describing oblate/prolate deformations is sufficient to capture most of bubble deformations, as well as predicting bubble lifetime provided the forcing statistics and the bubble response are correctly parametrized. To further rationalize the forcing statistics measured in the DNS, we propose to decompose the turbulent flow field into a sequence of elementary flows and to characterize bubble dynamics in each of them. We identify two main effective flow candidates, namely the uniaxial straining flow (USF) and the biaxial straining flow (BSF). While the first one has received considerable attention, little is known on the dynamics of bubble in BSF. In this talk, we present the linear stability analysis of bubble deformations in this flow. We enlighten surprising drift modes moving upstream as well as a new deformation mode with azimuthal wave number m=2, which might explain some of the breakage observed experimentally in turbulence.</div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">\r\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"> </div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><strong>Bio: </strong></div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Aliénor Rivière is an SNSF Fellow at the Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics and Instabilities (LFMI) at EPFL, where she works with François Gallaire on the stability and dynamics of bubbles in model flows.

His documentaries address contemporary issues such as the crisis of democracy, the economic crisis, and the rise of populism, using dramatic techniques similar to those found in fiction. Among them, *Connu de nos services* (1997) addresses the scandal surrounding the political dossiers compiled by the Federal Police in the 1970s and 1980s. *Mais im Bundeshuus / Le Génie helvétique* (2003), one of Swiss cinema’s major box-office hits, follows the work of a parliamentary commission tasked with drafting a law on genetic engineering. *The Blocher Experiment* (2013) sparked intense controversy. *Cleveland vs. Wall Street* (2010), about the subprime mortgage crisis, was presented at the Cannes Film Festival (Directors’ Fortnight) and nominated for a César Award in France. His film *The Paris Opera* (2017) was subsequently widely distributed around the world. With this film, which drew more than 200,000 viewers to theaters, Jean-Stéphane Bron won the Swiss Film Award in the Best Documentary category for the third time in 2018. In 2021, Jean-Stéphane Bron released *Cinq nouvelles du cerveau*, a feature-length film that explores various mind-boggling questions related to advances in the fields of neuroscience and artificial intelligence. Between December 2021 and May 2022, he filmed the series *Ma rue de l’Ale* for RTS on his own street in Lausanne; the series was a huge hit with audiences.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nExploring reality through the eyes of those who shape it. Jean-Stéphane Bron’s unique art lies not merely in presenting the facts, but in understanding both the people involved and the systems within which they operate—systems that shape their actions.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Partner: <a href=\"http://www.visionsdureel.ch/\">Visions du réel</a></strong><br>\r\n \r\n<figure class=\"image\"><a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/fr/les-culturelles/les-culturelles-dautomne-2026/\"><img alt=\"Programme complet des Culturelles\" height=\"182\" src=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/LES_CULTURELLES_1920x1080_programme_complet.png\" width=\"600\"></a>\r\n\r\n<figcaption>© 2026 EPFL, Laura Persat</figcaption>\r\n</figure>\r\n</div>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-09-03T18:19:57", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-22T13:55:33", "link_label": "Programme complet des Culturelles", "link_url": "https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/fr/les-culturelles/les-culturelles-dautomne-2026/", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "Forum Rolex", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==RLC%20E1%20240", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/3/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-St%C3%A9phane_Bron\">Jean-Stéphane Bron</a>, réalisateur ", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/fr/les-culturelles/\">Festival Les Culturelles</a> (Pôle Culture VPI)", "contact": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/veronique.mauron\">Véronique Mauron Layaz</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "cinéma, documentaire, jean-stéphane bron", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121711/", "category": { "id": 9, "code": "MANIF", "fr_label": "Événements festifs et culturels", "en_label": "Cultural events", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/2/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/21/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/22/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/32/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/145/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72517, "title": "NO/NC (Normally open/ Normally closed) - Installation", "slug": "nonc-normally-open-normally-closed-installation", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/nonc-normally-open-normally-closed-installation", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33783/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33783/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33783/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-10-13", "end_date": "2026-10-13", "start_time": "18:30:00", "end_time": null, "description": "<div class=\"BCX2 Ltr OutlineElement SCXW57136668\"><strong>Opening reception on October 13 at 6:30 p.m. (<a href=\"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/julian-sartorius-concert-rllrlrllrrlrlrlrllrlrlr/\">with a concert at 7pm</a>)<br>\r\nExhibition on view October 13–24</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe Pôle Culture (VPI) and <a href=\"http://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/museum-exhibitions/archizoom/fr/accueil/\">Archizoom </a>are collaborating on an installation by the artist duo <a href=\"http://aatb.ch/about/\">Andrea Anner & Thibault Brevet (AATB)</a> that extends Archizoom’s exhibition <a href=\"http://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/museum-exhibitions/archizoom/fr/do-robots-dream-of-construction-sites/\">Do Robots Dream of Construction Sites?</a> and is part of the Les Culturelles festival.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nNO/NC is a new work by AATB featuring <strong>a swarm of inflatable barriers</strong> that move autonomously through the space to form temporary structures and barricades, preventing visitors from moving about and crossing the space freely.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nWhoever controls and decides where and for whom to build walls also decides how we form a cohesive society—a society cemented by fictitious boundaries—while fragmenting and dissolving those deemed undesirable.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe walls of the installation take on an almost ghostly quality.

Weaving together documentary, theoretical, and fictional elements, her films and installations reflect the complexity of human relationships with their environments and foster a dialogue between science and myth to renew our perspective on the world.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nHis works have been exhibited at major contemporary art centers, institutions, and festivals around the world, including the Centre Pompidou (Paris), the IAC (Villeurbanne), the Loop Festival (Barcelona), Visions du Réel (Nyon), Wiels (Brussels), the Centre d’Art Contemporain (Geneva), the ZKM (Karlsruhe), Tokyo Wonder Site, the Museum of Modern Art (Tanzania), the Palazzo Grassi (Venice), as well as in New York, Madrid, Berlin, Zagreb, the TIFF Cinematheque (Toronto), and the Pera Museum (Istanbul).<br>\r\n<br>\r\nA two-time recipient of the Swiss Art Prize (2010, 2021) and the “Mondes Nouveaux” grant from the French Ministry of Culture (2022), her solo exhibition *Naturalis Historia* toured internationally after its opening at the Swiss Cultural Center in Paris (2017).

The result is a dizzying architecture so pervasive that it erects barriers and isolates individuals from one another. A society is emerging, grappling with media saturation, sensory overload, and a crushing ecological impact. A world is emerging where images have taken over, colonizing and transforming space until they become the only reality still visible.<br>\r\nThis narrative is a metaphor that prompts reflection on our responsibility regarding our daily digital output and its consequences for the environment.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"http://collectif-fact.ch/\">collectif_fact</a><br>\r\ncollectif_fact, founded by Annelore Schneider (1979, Neuchâtel) and Claude Piguet (1977, Neuchâtel), explores the economics of the contemporary image through video and photography, drawing on speculative narratives and fiction.

This collaboration between the collective and the academic community will therefore continue for the Culturelles in October 2026, with a more participatory format—somewhere between an artistic presentation and a town hall meeting—in a playful atmosphere.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>>>> Free admission; <a href=\"http://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/ffSBMqP21Y\">light refreshments provided upon registration</a></strong></div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"BCX2 Ltr OutlineElement SCXW196505929\"> \r\n<figure class=\"image\"><a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/fr/les-culturelles/les-culturelles-dautomne-2026/\"><img alt=\"Programme complet des Culturelles\" height=\"182\" src=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/LES_CULTURELLES_1920x1080_programme_complet.png\" width=\"600\"></a>\r\n\r\n<figcaption>© 2026 EPFL, Laura Persat</figcaption>\r\n</figure>\r\n</div>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-09-03T16:58:47", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-29T18:00:01", "link_label": "Inscription à la collation", "link_url": "https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/ffSBMqP21Y", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "Hall MED", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==MED%200%2094.22", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/1/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Collectif <a href=\"https://hydromondes.org/\">Hydromondes</a> ; Marin Schaffner, ethnologue ; Jeanne Mermet, ingénieure ; Gabriel Cotte, hydrologue et Clémence Mathieu, dessinatrice ", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/fr/les-culturelles/\">Festival Les Culturelles</a> (Pôle Culture VPI)", "contact": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/veronique.mauron\">Véronique Mauron Layaz</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "Léman, corps aquatique, performance", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121705/", "category": { "id": 9, "code": "MANIF", "fr_label": "Événements festifs et culturels", "en_label": "Cultural events", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/2/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/21/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/22/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/79/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/145/?format=api" ] } ] }
