Modeling rectified diffusion, with application to potential bubble growth in marine mammals

In this thesis, research by Crum and Mao [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 99, 2898--2907 (1996)] and Houser, Howard, and Ridgway [J. Theor. Biol. 213, 183--195 (2001)] is extended by numerically investigating bubble growth (initial radius of 10 microns) during rectified diffusion for gas supersaturations up to...
