Schematic of the forces and torques on a CNT (black) near a collapsing bubble (blue). The flow causes a compressive force (red) on the CNT, as well as inward torques (green), which can combine to buckle the CNT. Brownian torques may slightly rotate the CNT and cause a torque imbalance (yellow) that rotates the CNT radially (clockwise here).
