abstract
We have performed the first 3-dimensional simulations of strong first-order thermal phase transitions in the early Universe. For deflagrations, we find that the rotational component of the fluid velocity increases as the transition strength is increased. For detonations, however, the rotational velocity component remains constant and small. We also find that the efficiency with which kinetic energy is transferred to the fluid falls below theoretical expectations as we increase the transition strength. The probable origin of the kinetic energy deficit is the formation of reheated droplets of the metastable phase during the collision, slowing the bubble walls. The rate of increase in the gravitational wave energy density for deflagrations in strong transitions is suppressed compared to that predicted in earlier work. This is largely accounted for by the reduction in kinetic energy. Current modelling therefore substantially overestimates the gravitational wave signal for strong transitions with deflagrations, in the most extreme case by a factor of $10^{3}$. Detonations are less affected.

Non-conformal obstructions to bubble expansion
Non-conformal equations of state introduce wall and flow obstructions that delete entire classes of bubble solutions and create 'shocked detonations', shrinking the allowed wall-velocity space and suppressing gravitat...

Scalar damping in cosmological phase transitions
The scalar damping coefficient in the hydrodynamic friction term is extracted from kinetic theory for SM-like plasmas, and the runaway-wall pressure is found to bound the local friction from above.

Domain Walls From Confining Bubbles: $SU(N_{c})$ Yang Mills at Finite $\theta$
A nonzero theta angle weakens supercooling in SU(Nc) Yang-Mills confinement and makes any resulting domain-wall gravitational-wave signal invisible except under severe fine-tuning.

Phase Transitions and Gravitational Wave Production at the End of Thermal Inflation
The end of thermal inflation proceeds by nucleating true-vacuum bubbles rather than by global phase mixing, and the resulting gravitational-wave background can reach BBO and DECIGO sensitivities for low flaton mass sc...

Gravitational Waves from Confinement in $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills Theory
For pure SU(N) Yang-Mills dark sectors, confinement transitions produce gravitational waves too weak for LISA, ET, CE, DECIGO or BBO, with peak amplitude at N≈20 and a large-N decay h²Ω_peak ∝ N^{-14/3}.

Numerical simulations on First-order phase transition through thermal fluctuation
3+1D lattice simulations show that thermal fluctuations alone can nucleate vacuum bubbles through precursor oscillons, and the resulting gravitational wave spectrum scales with the mean bubble separation.

Phase transitions in an expanding medium -- hot remnants
In an effective holographic model, expanding and cooling plasma forms 'hot remnants' that stay at the critical temperature while shrinking, then heat up during dissolution.

Cosmic string gravitational wave backgrounds at LISA: II. Reconstruction of conventional signals over astrophysical foregrounds
When realistic astrophysical foregrounds are included, LISA can reconstruct the cosmic-string tension to 10% precision only for Gμ ≳ 10^{-11}, 10^5 times larger than foreground-free forecasts.
