Not the person you asked, but I think 'bubblology' (thank you for that word by the way) would have relevance in micro-fluidics, which relates to lab-on-a-chip applications and microbiology and cellular biology. It may also have mechanical engineering relevance through hydro-dynamics in (micro-)pumps, injectors, and carburetors. Maybe even drug delivery systems.

Edit: and according to this link it's also very useful for water aeration, which is needed for hydroponics, hydro-culture, and general water treatment.
In general for nano: lots of surface interaction, so great if you want to a lot of chemical or physical interaction between your nano-something and whatever substance you put it in.

yes, Moleaer is THE leading company developing nano bubble generators for industrial volumes. I use a 200 GPM unit for removing algae from a 75,000 m3 lake. It is quite a spectacular transformation to see clear, transparent water in a tropical lake. The fish loved it. Oxygen levels rose to 8 mg/L.
