This effort investigates advancing cavitation modeling relevant to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) through two strategies. The first aims to reformulate the cavitation models and the second explores adding liquid–vapor slippage effects. The first aspect of the paper revisits cavitation model formulations with respect to the Rayleigh–Plesset equation (RPE). The present approach reformulates the cavitation model using analytic solutions to the RPE. The benefit of this reformulation is displayed by maintaining model sensitivities similar to RPE, whereas the standard models fail these tests. In addition, the model approach is extended beyond standard homogeneous models, to a two-fluid modeling framework that explicitly models the slippage between cavitation bubbles and the liquid. The results indicate a significant impact of slip on the predicted cavitation solution, suggesting that the inclusion of such modeling can potentially improve CFD cavitation models. Overall, the results of this effort point to various aspects that may be considered in future CFD-modeling efforts with the goal of improving the model accuracy and reducing computational time.

In this paper we used high speed recording to characterize segmented micro-scale air bubble generation in a T-junction and bubble transport in a serpentine micro-channel fabricated in a standard silicon wafer.

The formalism of transport theory is adapted to a general description of bubble populations in a moving fluid. The bubble distribution, as a function of position, velocity, radius and time, satisfies a Boltzmann-type transport equation that is derived and then formally solved by the method of characteristics. In order to apply this new analytical tool to the specific problem of gas bubble transport in the upper ocean, an ocean model and a bubble dynamics model must be chosen. For the purpose of illustration, explicit solutions are written, for distributed sources in a stationary ocean with simple expressions for bubble gas diffusion and drag. Calculated results clarify the relations between observed bubble distributions at sea, proposed bubble source mechanisms and known models of single-bubble dynamics.

ABSTRACTIn a repository for spent nuclear fuel, gas generated by corrosion of the iron in the canister may form small bubbles that will escape and rise to the ground surface. Colloidal particles may attach to the surface of the bubbles and be carried by them. If the colloids are supplied by the montmorillonite clay of the buffer material surrounding the canister, the clay can be carried away. Nuclides sorbed in the clay can be carried with the bubbles. We have estimated the carrying capacity of the gas of the clay particles and the escape rate of nuclides carried by the gas bubbles. The latter is also compared to the escape rate by the conventional escape mechanisms from the near field. We have further estimated the detachment of the nuclides from the clay and their sorption onto the fracture surfaces of the rock as well as their uptake by diffusion into the rock matrix along the bubble transport paths.The present paper is speculative and uses some hypothetical assumptions. Although the processes that are modelled are known to exist there is not enough known of several of them to quantify them accurately. The carrying capacity of the gas used in the calculations is an upper bound and probably very much exaggerated. Even so, the consequences are minor for the release of radionuclides.
