The method of matched asymptotic expansions is used to investigate the behavior of a collapsing bubble near a solid wall. Cases are studied in which the ratio ε between the initial spherical bubble radius and its distance from the wall is small. Expansions in powers of ε lead to a simple system of differential equations which is solved numerically. The bubble shape, the velocity potential and the pressure field are determined as functions of time. The deformation of the bubble is a singular perturbation of the pressure field around it. An increase in the value of ε augments the pressure on the solid wall by orders of magnitude. The influence of surface tension and the proximity of the wall, gas content and its law of compression, are investigated. The results are compared to previous investigations. One advantage of the method employed is the fact that it leads to a numerical solution which costs very little computer time. In addition, it can be extended very easily to more complex cases such as multibubble configurations or to walls coated with elastomeric coatings.

Cavitation is a common harmful phenomenon in hydraulic transmission systems. It not only damages flow continuity and reduces medium physical performance, but also induces vibration and noise. At the same time, the efficiency of a system is reduced due to cavitation, especially dynamic performance are deteriorated. Applying commercial CFD software FLUENT, the cavitation issuing from the orifice was numerically investigated, reducing the harm. The effect of liquid parameters (such as surface tension, gas content, and the temperature) on the oscillation of bubble is studied numerically. The modified Rayleigh-Plesset equations are presented to describe the oscillation of bubble in different liquids. Employing the finite difference calculus, the behavior of a cavitation bubble in liquids with different physics parameters are obtained. Meanwhile, the numerical results are compared with experiment results. It is observed that the viscous force decreases the growth and collapse of a bubble, making it expand or collapse less violently. And the surface-tension forces stave bubble growth progress and speed up bubble collapse process. On the other hand, both the maximum bubble radius and bubble lifetime increase with increasing temperature. These results can provide theory basis for understanding cavitation bubble dynamics in the hydraulic systems.

The dynamics of laser-produced cavitation bubbles near a solid boundary and its dependence on the distance between bubble and wall are investigated experimentally. It is shown by means of high-speed photography with up to 1 million frames/s that jet and counterjet formation and the development of a ring vortex resulting from the jet flow are general features of the bubble dynamics near solid boundaries. The fluid velocity field in the vicinity of the cavitation bubble is determined with time-resolved particle image velocimetry. A comparison of path lines deduced from successive measurements shows good agreement with the results of numerical calculations by Kucera & Blake (1988). The pressure amplitude, the profile and the energy of the acoustic transients emitted during spherical bubble collapse and the collapse near a rigid boundary are measured with a hydrophone and an optical detection technique. Sound emission is the main damping mechanism in spherical bubble collapse, whereas it plays a minor part in the damping of aspherical collapse. The duration of the acoustic transients is 20-30 ns. The highest pressure amplitudes at the solid boundary have been found for bubbles attached to the boundary. The pressure inside the bubble and at the boundary reaches about 2.5 kbar when the maximum bubble radius is 3.5 mm. The results are discussed with respect to the mechanism of cavitation erosion.

В статье приводятся аналитические и численные результаты по динамике и акустике кавитационного пузырька при повышении внешнего давления. В начале рассматривается модельная задача о сжатии пузырька вплоть до коллапса при мгновенном повышении давления. При этом уравнение Рэлея-Плессета рассматривается с учетом газосодержания, поверхностного натяжения и вязкости. Акустическое давление, вызванное сжатием пузырька, записанное в безразмерном виде, определяется как с привлечением формул, так и численным путем. Показано, что если наряду с паром, внутри пузырька имеется некоторое количество газа, скорость его сжатия и акустическое давление оказываются конечными вплоть до полного схлопывания. Кроме того, возможно многократное повторение цикла расширения-сжатия с затуханием амплитуды колебаний. На каждом периоде колебаний вблизи момента времени коллапса (достижения минимального радиуса) наблюдается импульсное возрастание давления. Во второй части аналогичное исследование проводится для случая, когда кавитационный пузырек возникает в закругленной носовой части подводного крылового профиля. При этом демонстрируется зависимость динамического поведения пузырька и вызываемого им в заданной точке контура профиля акустического давления от типа профиля, его толщины и угла атаки. По периоду первого цикла схлопывания спектральные параметры акустического импульса определяются как у эквивалентного треугольного импульса. Presented in this paper are analytical and numerical results on dynamics and acoustics of a cavitation bubble in adverse external pressure gradient. First considered is a model problem of bubble collapse due to instantaneous increase of pressure. Therewith, the Rayleigh-Plesset equation is treated with account of gas content, surface tension and viscosity. Non-dimensional acoustic pressure caused by the compression of the bubble, is determined both with use of relevant formulae and numerically. It is shown that if together with vapor the bubble contains some quantity of gas, than its collapse rate and acoustic pressure during compression turn out to be finite. In addition, multiple expansion compression cycles are possible. For each period of bubble radius variation there occurs near the moment of collapse (moment of reaching a minimum radius) an impulse acoustic pressure rise. In the second part of the paper a similar investigation is carried out for the case when the bubble occurs near the rounded leading edge of a hydrofoil. Demonstrated therewith is the dependence of the bubble dynamic behavior and accompanying acoustic pressure pulses upon the foil type, thickness and angle of attack. Based on the period of the first bubble collapse cycle the spectral parameters of the induced acoustic pressure impulse are determined as for an equivalent triangular impulse.

The present study deals with the collapse of nonspherical bubbles in a compressible liquid by taking the thermal diffusion into account. The ghost fluid method (GFM) is modified so as to consider the thermal diffusion through the bubble surface. The boundary condition for the temperature continuity at the interface is discussed for determining the values of the ghost fluids. The improved GFM is applied to the collapse of a single spherical bubble. The present results are in good agreement with those obtained from the equation of motion for a single bubble (Keller equation) coupling with the energy equation. The improved multigrid GFM is also applied to the interaction of a gas bubble with a strong shock wave. The non-spherical bubble collapse is simulated successfully by taking the thermal diffusion into account. The thermal boundary layers both inside and outside the bubble are captured with the present method although the thermal boundary layer in liquid is very thin. The bubble collapse due to the incident shock wave accompanies the formation of the liquid jets and shock waves leading to the high temperature field. The influence of thermal diffusion becomes more prominent when the initial bubble radius is small. It is shown that a large amount of heat outflows from the interior of the bubble to the liquid when the liquid jet hits the downstream surface of the bubble and the bubble rebounds. The increased thermal diffusion causes the decrease of the internal pressure and temperature in the bubble leading to more violent collapse.

The behavior of a spherical bubble as it collapses in the vicinity of a solid wall was theoretically analyzed, in terms of the effect of compressibility, viscosity, surface tension, and gravity being ignored, and the gas in the bubble following the adiabatic law of compression assumed. Numerical examples obtained by applying the theoretical treatment are given for the change in time of bubble shape as it collapses, the impulse pressure occurring during bubble collapse, and the flow velocity at the bubble surface.

The problem of the growth of a spherical isolated bubble in a superheated liquid has been extensively studied. However, very little work has been done for the case of a cloud of bubbles. The collective behavior of the bubbles departs considerably from that of a single isolated bubble, due to the cumulative modification of the pressure field from all other bubbles. This paper presents a theoretical study on bubble interaction in a superheated liquid during the growth stage. The solution is sought in terms of matched asymptotic expansions in powers of ε, the ratio between rb0, a characteristic bubble radius and l0, the interbubble distance. Numerical results show a significant inhibition of the bubble growth rate due to the presence of interacting bubbles. In addition, the temperature at the bubble wall decreases at a slower rate. Consequently, the overall heat exchange during the bubble growth is reduced.

Understanding the dynamic characteristic of the cavitation bubble near a solid wall is a fundamental issue for the bubble collapse application and prevention. In the present work, an improved three-dimensional multi-relaxation-time pseudopotential lattice Boltzmann model is adopted to investigate the cavitation bubble collapse near the solid wall. With respect to thermodynamic consistency, Laplace law verification, the three-dimensional pseudopotential multi-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann model is investigated. By the theoretical analysis, it is proved that the model can be regarded as a solver of the Rayleigh–Plesset equation, and confirmed by comparing the results of the lattice Boltzmann simulation and the Rayleigh–Plesset equation calculation for the case of cavitation bubble collapse in the infinite medium field. The bubble collapse near the solid wall is modeled using the improved pseudopotential multi-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann model. We find the lattice Boltzmann simulation and the experimental results have the same dynamic process by comparing the bubble profiles evolution. Form the pressure field and the velocity field evolution it is found that the tapered higher pressure region formed near the top of the bubble is a crucial driving force inducing the bubble collapse. This exploratory research demonstrates that the lattice Boltzmann method is an alternative tool for the study of the interaction between collapsing cavitation bubble and matter.
