Bubble translation driven by pulsation in a double-bubble system

The pulsation and translation of two cavitation bubbles are studied numerically in sound field. The results show that bubbles' pulsation driven by the sound makes them translate. Different pulsations lead to different translations. Two bubbles will be mutually attractive to each other if they pulsate in phase, while they will be repulsive if out of phase. Furthermore,the secondary Bjerknes force for small phase difference is attractive, and it becomes repulsive for other phase differences up to π phase difference due to the nonlinear effect, although the attractive strength between two bubbles is much larger than the repulsive strength. Finally, one bubble pulsation and the other bubble stationary make the bubbles repel each other.     

Uniform Acoustic Cavitation of Liquid in a Disk

A dynamical propagation model coupled to the oscillation of cavitation bubbles is applied to describe the imploding acoustic field in a cavitating liquid where the acoustic waves transmit from the outside to the inside of a circle disk. Numerical simulation shows that the imploding ability of a ring source can elevate the sound pressure or partly eliminate the decay due to both the bulk attenuation and the attenuation caused by cavitation. However,the imploding ability is limited and there exists a critical radius. When the radius of the disk is larger than the critical one, the imploding ability is not enough to eliminate the attenuation. Fortunately, the cavitation region can be effectively expanded if a hot plate is attached under the center of the disk because the cavitation threshold is related to the temperature of the liquid, which means that a region with good uniformity of cavitation can be enhanced by adjusting the temperature difference between the central and side liquid.     

方波驱动下双气泡的动力学行为*

探索方波驱动下双气泡的脉动规律,能够促进方波在声空化工程中的实际应用。本文通过数值求解双气泡耦合方程组,研究了方波驱动下双气泡的动力学行为,得到了多种条件下不同时刻两个气泡半径的数值,并以此计算出气泡间的次Bjerknes力。研究表明,增大驱动频率会使得两个气泡膨胀时能达到的最大半径和次Bjerknes力减小。当两个气泡的平衡半径不同时,其中一个气泡的剧烈收缩会使得另一个气泡产生一个振动方向相反的声脉冲。随着两个气泡平衡半径差距的增加,气泡收缩的时间间隔增大。此外,当驱动声压幅值逐渐增大时,气泡脉动规律也会发生很大的变化。     

强超声在空化液体中的反常衰减

采用自动控制系统,逐点测量了长方形水槽内液体中不同位置的声压。研究发现,随着驱动声压的增大,近场声压持续增大,但衰减速度也加快,而远场声压会经历一个先上升后下降的反常过程。通过对容器中不同位置声压进行频谱分析,得到声波不同频率分量随传播距离的变化规律。结合频谱的分析表明,上述反常过程的原因是高驱动声压下气泡的非线性振动将更多声能量转移至衰减较快的高次谐波,从而导致远场的声压反而低于较低驱动时对应的声压。      

Effects of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate on a Single Cavitation Bubble

Dynamics of a single cavitation bubble in sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS) aqueous solutions is investigated experimentally and theoretically. The bubble pulsation is measured by a phase-locked integrated imaging technique,and the ambient radius is obtained by fitting the numerical calculation based on the Rayleigh–Plesset bubble dynamics model to the experimental data. The results show that, under the same driving condition, the ambient radius of the cavitation bubble decreases correspondingly with the increase of SDS concentration within the critical micelle concentration, while the compression ratio of the radius increases, which indicates that the addition of SDS decreases the internal molecular number of the cavitation bubble and increases the power capability of the cavitation bubble. In addition, bubble oscillation increases the concentration of the surfactant molecules on the bubble wall, so that the effect of SDS on a single cavitation bubble is reduced when the SDS concentration is greater than 0.8 m M.
