Abstract In this article, investigations of the dynamic behaviors of a single bubble flowing across a mesh-based structure domain was conducted using the volume of fluid (VOF) model. The study was investigated in various mesh structure sizes, including hole size and gap distance. The fundamental behavior of bubble deformation and the effects of gap sizes were analyzed. Subsequently, the predicted dynamics of the deforming bubble area and the effect of the surface tension were examined inside the mesh holes. The discharging bubbles from the mesh structure resulted in a slight difference in the physical features from the original bubble dynamics before entering the mesh (flow restriction). This drafted the bubbles in different trajectories and led to behave differently based on the mesh characteristics. The complex interactions and the subsequent deformations were observed between different mesh sizes. For the validation of the bubble dynamics, the results of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation were tested under different mesh sizes detailing the velocity field, exiting trajectory, bubbles deformation, and residence time, which helps to reveal the affected parameters on the separation mechanism of the original bubble.

Three-dimensional numerical simulation of single bubble dynamics during nucleate flow boiling is performed in this work. The range of bulk liquid velocities investigated is from 0.076to0.23m∕s. The surface orientations at earth normal gravity are varied from an upward facing horizontal surface to vertical through 30, 45, and 60deg. The gravity levels on an upward facing horizontal surface are varied from 1.0ge to 0.0001ge. Continuity, momentum, and energy equations are solved by finite difference method and the level set method is used to capture the liquid-vapor interface. Heat transfer within the liquid micro layer is included in this model. The numerical results have been compared with data from experiments. The results show that the bulk flow velocity, heater surface orientation, and gravity levels influence the bubble dynamics.

Single Bubble Dynamics

Ultrasonic cavitation is a well-known phenomenon that plays an important role in several physical systems and its applications are commonly utilized in different fields of physics and technology. The cavitation phenomena can be described by means of a field theory that should be able to predict the values of the macroscopic quantities, introducing physical parameters specifically for the bubbly liquid to be considered as a continuum; while on the other hand, the goal is to solve the problem of single bubble dynamics in an ultrasonic field as a starting point towards a multibubble theory. Usually the theory of single bubble dynamics in ultrasonic cavitation is constructed by primarily imposing the conditions of spherical symmetry on the bubble interface and a viscoelastic liquid, thus obtaining a significant simplification of the equations of motion and a single nonlinear equation for the interface. This approach can be satisfactory in several cases, but the situations in which the bubble deviates from its spherical shape (i.e. the collapse on a rigid boundary) and the problem of the stability of the interface motion, which turns out to be very important in sonoluminescence, cannot be treated by this theory. In the field of ultrasonic cavitation numerical analysis is a further means of investigation besides the analytical approach and experimental measurements, and it is necessary at least for two reasons. Specifically, an exact analytical treatment of the equations that model this phenomenon is substantially impossible due to their high nonlinearity; and furthermore the typical order of magnitude of the measurable quantities (object sizes in the range of microns, time intervals in the range of microseconds with nanosecond resolution) makes experiments difficult to perform. Hence we numerically analyze the relationships between amplitude and frequency by the use of SPECTRA PLUS software. The method is tested analyzing forced oscillations of cavitation bubbles excited by ultrasonic standing waves at different pressure amplitudes, showing characteristic behaviour of nonlinear dynamical systems; frequency spectra are obtained, stability analysis is performed. It is important to note that we observe subharmonic behaviour of the volume mode of the bubble prior to the instabilities due to shape modes. If one further increases the value of pressure amplitudes, one can clearly observe surface instabilities and deformations that lead to the destruction of the bubble. This evidence may suggest that the subharmonic behaviour leads to chaos in ultrasonic cavitation.
