Effects of ultrasound frequency and acoustic amplitude on the size of sonochemically active bubbles – Theoretical study

Numerical simulation of chemical reactions inside an isolated spherical bubble of oxygen has been performed for various ambient bubble radii at different frequencies and acoustic amplitudes to study the effects of these two parameters on the range of ambient radius for an active bubble in sonochemical reactions. The employed model combines the dynamic of bubble collapse with the chemical kinetics of single cavitation bubble. Results from this model were compared with some experimental results presented in the literature and good apparent trends between them were observed. The numerical calculations of this study showed that there always exists an optimal ambient bubble radius at which the production of oxidizing species at the end of the bubble collapse attained their upper limit. It was shown that the range of ambient radius for an active bubble increased with increasing acoustic amplitude and decreased with increasing ultrasound frequency. The optimal ambient radius decreased with increasing frequency. Analysis of curves showing optimal ambient radius versus acoustic amplitude for different ultrasonic frequencies indicated that for 200 and 300 kHz, the optimal ambient radius increased linearly with increasing acoustic amplitude up to 3 atm. However, slight minima of optimal radius were observed for the curves obtained at 500 and 1000 kHz.     

Implosion of an underwater spark-generated bubble and acoustic energy evaluation using the Rayleigh model

The growth, collapse, and rebound of a vapor bubble generated by an underwater spark is studied by means of high-speed cinematography, simultaneously acquiring the emitted acoustic signature. Video recordings show that the growth and collapse phases are nearly symmetrical during the first two or three cycles, the bubble shape being approximately spherical. After 2-3 cycles the bubble behavior changes from a collapsing/rebounding regime with sound-emitting implosions to a pulsating regime with no implosions. The motion of the bubble wall during the first collapses was found to be consistent with the Rayleigh model of a cavity in an incompressible liquid, with the inclusion of a vapor pressure term at constant temperature within each bubble cycle. An estimate of the pressure inside the bubble is obtained measuring the collapse time and maximum radius, and the amount of energy converted into acoustical energy upon each implosion is deduced. The resulting value of acoustic efficiency was found to be in agreement with measurements based on the emitted acoustic pulse.     

The evolution of the cavitation bubble driven by different sound pressure

In this paper, the relation between the ambient radius R(0) of the acoustic cavitation bubble and its driving pressure was investigated by an improved method. The evolution of the bubble was gained with a long-distance microscope and a bundle of 532 nm laser switched by an acousto-optic modulator. The ambient radius R(0) was determined by fitting the numerical calculation based on Rayleigh-Plesset equation to the experimental data. The results showed that as the sound pressure increased R(0) decreased at beginning and increased after the pressure reached to about 1.2 atm. Although the same rule was gotten from the relation between the maximum radius R(m) and the sound pressure, the ratio R(m)/R(0) varied monotonously with the sound pressure. It indicates that enhancing the sound pressure can increase the compression ratio of the bubble even if the mass inside the bubble is also increased.

Theoretical model of ice nucleation induced by inertial acoustic cavitation. Part 2: Number of ice nuclei generated by a single bubble

In the preceding paper (part 1), the pressure and temperature fields close to a bubble undergoing inertial acoustic cavitation were presented. It was shown that extremely high liquid water pressures but quite moderate temperatures were attained near the bubble wall just after the collapse providing the necessary conditions for ice nucleation. In this paper (part 2), the nucleation rate and the nuclei number generated by a single collapsing bubble were determined. The calculations were performed for different driving acoustic pressures, liquid ambient temperatures and bubble initial radius. An optimal acoustic pressure range and a nucleation temperature threshold as function of bubble radius were determined. The capability of moderate power ultrasound to trigger ice nucleation at low undercooling level and for a wide distribution of bubble sizes has thus been assessed on the theoretical ground.     

Optical investigation of cavitation erosion by laser-induced bubble collapse

By means of a new force sensor based on optical beam deflection (OBD), the mechanical effects of laser-matter interaction underwater at different incident laser energy are investigated in detail. The experimental results show that a target underwater is impacted in turn by laser-plasma ablation force and high-speed liquid-jet impulse induced by bubbles collapse in the vicinity of a solid boundary. Furthermore, the amplitudes of the two forces increase monotonously with laser energy. According to the ablation force detected by the experiment and the theoretical relationship between laser intensity and ablation pressure, the value of liquid-jet impact against a solid boundary can be easily obtained. In addition, based on the model of a collapsing bubble, some characteristic parameters, such as the liquid-jet impact velocity, the maximum bubble radius, the bubble energy can also be obtained at different laser energy, which are valuable in the corresponding research fields.     

超声振动珩磨作用下空化泡动力学及影响参数

Dynamics of laser-induced bubble collapse visualized by time-resolved optical shadowgraph

Abstract  

Following the first shock wave generation and the successive single bubble expansion after the breakdown by the Nd:YAG laser pulse with 35 mJ and 10 ns in distilled water, the strong secondary shock wave is generated at the instant of the bubble collapse. The single bubble expands up to 0.59 mm in radius, and then closes up by the pressure difference between the ambient liquid pressure at 10² kPa and the vapor pressure inside the bubble at 2 kPa. The maximum pressure up to 3 GPa is attained without the strong rebounding surface motion at about 93 μs after the laser shedding. We present time-resolved velocity measurements for estimating the extreme peak pressures of the first and second shock waves with the Rankine–Hugoniot analysis.     

Experimental investigation of the impact on nearby solid boundary during laser-generated bubble collapse

Cavitation damage has been considered as being responsible for many effects in hydraulic machinery and biological medicine. In order to better understand the cavity interaction with nearby solid surfaces, the impact loading induced by the high-speed liquid-jet and subsequent jet flow during the final stage of the bubble collapse in a static fluid is investigated by focusing a Q-switched pulsed laser into water. By means of a new method based on a fibre-coupling optical beam deflection technique, a detailed experimental study has been made to clarify the relationship of the impact pressure against a solid boundary as a function of the dimensionless γ that is generally used to describe the bubble dynamics with its definition γ= s/R_{max}(R_{max} being the maximum bubble radius and s denoting the distance of the cavity inception from the boundary). The experimental results are shown that for γ in the range of about 0.67 to 0.95 with a pulsed laser energy 230mJ, the transient pressure applied on the solid surface is maximum; while for γ>1 or γ<0.67, it is gradually decreased. By combination of our experimental results with the other work that detected the acoustic emission during the bubble collapse at different γ, it is concluded that in this range of 0.67－0.95, the destructive effect due to a liquid-jet and the following jet flow impact actually outweighs the well-known effect of shock wave emission and plays a vital role during the cavitation bubble collapse.     

A theoretical study of cavitation generated by an extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter

The intense acoustic wave generated at the focus of an extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter is modeled as the impulse response of a parallel RLC circuit. The shock wave consists of a zero rise time positive spike that falls to 0 at 1 microsecond followed by a negative pressure component 6 microseconds long with amplitudes scaled to +1000 and -160 bars, P+ and P-, respectively. This pressure wave drives the Gilmore-Akulichev formulation for bubble dynamics; the zero-order effect of gas diffusion on bubble response is included. The negative pressure component of a 1000-bar shock wave will cause a preexisting bubble in the 1- to 10-microns range to expand to over 100 times its initial size, R0, for 250 microseconds, with a peak radius of approximately 1400 microns, then collapse very violently, emitting far UV or soft x-ray photons (black body). Gas diffusion does not appreciably mitigate the amplitude of the pressure wave radiated at the primary collapse, but does significantly reduce the collapse temperature. Diffusion also increases the bubble radius from R0 up to 40 microns and extends the duration of ringing following the primary collapse, assuming that the bubble does not break up or shed microbubbles. Results are sensitive to P+/P- and to the duration of the negative pressure cycle but not to rise time.

Theoretical model of ice nucleation induced by acoustic cavitation. Part 1: Pressure and temperature profiles around a single bubble

This paper deals with the inertial cavitation of a single gas bubble in a liquid submitted to an ultrasonic wave. The aim was to calculate accurately the pressure and temperature at the bubble wall and in the liquid adjacent to the wall just before and just after the collapse. Two different approaches were proposed for modeling the heat transfer between the ambient liquid and the gas: the simplified approach (A) with liquid acting as perfect heat sink, the rigorous approach (B) with liquid acting as a normal heat conducting medium. The time profiles of the bubble radius, gas temperature, interface temperature and pressure corresponding to the above models were compared and important differences were observed excepted for the bubble size. The exact pressure and temperature distributions in the liquid corresponding to the second model (B) were also presented. These profiles are necessary for the prediction of any physical phenomena occurring around the cavitation bubble, with possible applications to sono-crystallization.     

Temperature and pressure dependence of sonoluminescence

The dependence of sonoluminescence on ambient pressure and temperature is measured. As water is cooled, there occurs a 100-fold increase in light emission which can be accompanied by only slight changes in the ambient radius of the pulsating bubble. This suggests that water vapor trapped in the collapsing bubble is a key parameter for this system. For fixed concentration of gases in water, the maximum intensity of sonoluminescence decreases as the ambient pressure is lowered below 1 atm.

Numerical analysis of the effect of bubble distribution on multiple-bubble behavior

Understanding multiple-bubble behavior in a megasonic field is essential for efficient megasonic nanodevice cleaning without pattern damage. In this study, we numerically studied the effects of equilibrium radius and initial void fraction on multiple-bubble behavior and induced pressure. We analyzed the nonspherical collapse, coalescence, and breakup of bubbles in a megasonic field using a compressible, locally homogeneous model of a gas-liquid two-phase medium. Bubbles were simulated with a uniform equilibrium radius or with a bubble size distribution. Our results indicate that the bubble behavior and induced pressure depended mainly on the initial void fraction. For the case of bubbles with uniform equilibrium radius, small bubbles generated high wall pressure at large initial void fractions. When there was a size distribution, bubbles with small equilibrium radii contributed little to the wall pressure because of the damping effect of the oscillation of larger bubbles. Furthermore, the addition of a large bubble suppressed the resonant behavior of the bubbles that induced high wall pressure.

A unique circular path of moving single bubble sonoluminescence in water

Based on a quasi-adiabatic model,the parameters of the bubble interior for a moving single bubble sonoluminescence (m-SBSL) in water are calculated.By using a complete form of the hydrodynamic force,a unique circular path for the m-SBSL in water is obtained.The effect of the ambient pressure variation on the bubble trajectory is also investigated.It is concluded that as the ambient pressure increases,the bubble moves along a circular path with a larger radius and all bubble parameters,such as gas pressure,interior temperature and light intensity,increase.A comparison is made between the parameters of the moving bubble in water and those in N-methylformamide.With fluid viscosity increasing,the circular path changes into an elliptic form and the light intensity increases.
