In recent years, the stability and lifetime of nanobubbles have raised new scientific questions as experimental techniques for nanobubble generation and measurements have advanced. In this contribution, we present a physical model for bulk nanobubbles and simulate their dissolution numerically using a rigorous treatment of the underlying governing equations. Additionally, we simulate surface nanobubbles with small contact angles replenished through hydrogen electrolysis at a platinum electrode, and discuss the relation between the mass transfer coefficient at the bubble surface and the supplied hydrogen flux at steady-state.
