球状泡群内气泡的耦合振动

振动气泡形成辐射场影响其他气泡的运动, 故多气泡体系中气泡处于耦合振动状态. 本文在气泡群振动模型的基础上, 考虑气泡间耦合振动的影响, 得到了均匀球状泡群内振动气泡的动力学方程, 以此为基础分析了气泡的非线性声响应特征. 气泡间的耦合振动增加了系统对每个气泡的约束, 降低了气泡的自然共振频率, 增强了气泡的非线性声响应. 随着气泡数密度的增加, 振动气泡受到的抑制增强; 增加液体静压力同样可抑制泡群内气泡的振动, 且存在静压力敏感区(1–2 atm, 1 atm=1.01325×10⁵ Pa); 驱动声波对气泡振动影响很大, 随着声波频率的增加, 能够形成空化影响的气泡尺度范围变窄. 在同样的声条件、泡群尺寸以及气泡内外环境下, 初始半径小于5 μm 的气泡具有较强的声响应. 气泡耦合振动会削弱单个气泡的空化影响, 但可延长多气泡系统空化泡崩溃发生的时间间隔和增大作用范围, 整体空化效应增强.

为分析超声空化的薄层液体中稳定的环状气泡链结构,本文考虑气泡间次级声辐射影响,得到了表征气泡间相互作用的气泡基本动力学方程以及次Bjerknes力的表达式,数值分析了气泡平衡半径、声波频率和声压对纯液体区可能出现的单气泡所受的次Bjerknes力,发现环形泡链能够吸引液体区内的新生的半径小于2μm的气泡,这可能是一定条件下环形气泡链能够稳定存在的原因.随着驱动声波压力增加,气泡数密度增加,气泡间的耦合作用增强,液体区内的环形泡链结构可能被液体区内出现的大气泡或者气泡团破坏,进而导致环形结构演变成柱状、雾状乃至整个液体区均充满空化泡的情况发生.通过高速摄影机观察了强声场作用下换能器辐射面外侧液体薄层内空化初生至形成空化云团簇的整个过程,在空化云团簇中发现了局部同步崩溃并形成类纯液体薄层的现象,该液体薄层边界随时间振荡持续约4个声周期后被空化云团簇吞没,局部类纯液体区出现的位置具有随机性.实验观察结果和理论预测具有很好的一致性.

为探究空化场中多气泡之间的相互作用,结合观察到的注入大气泡周围飞舞的小气泡的实验现象,构建了由两个大气泡和一个空化泡组成的三气泡系统,通过考虑气泡间相互作用的时间延迟效应以及大泡的非球形振动,得到修正的气泡动力学方程组,并数值分析了气泡的振动模态、平衡半径、声波压力与频率等参量对小空化气泡的振动行为与所受次级Bjerknes力的影响.结果表明,大气泡的非球形效应主要表现为一种近场效应,对空化泡的振动影响很小,几乎可以忽略不计.大气泡可抑制空化泡的振动,但当大气泡半径接近于共振半径时,空化泡振动幅值曲线出现共振峰,即存在耦合共振响应.大气泡半径越大,对空化泡抑制作用越强,当空化泡处在两个毫米级大气泡附近时抑制更加显著.声波压力与频率不仅直接影响气泡的振动,还影响空化泡与大气泡之间相互作用的强弱,表现为空化泡所受的次级Bjerknes力在特定的大气泡半径范围内变得对气泡尺寸变化较为敏感,即小的大气泡半径变化可能导致明显的力大小变化,且不同驱动频率下,空化泡所受次级Bjerknes力的敏感半径分布区间不同.空化泡受到的次级Bjerknes力在距离较小或者较大时均可能表现为斥力,与实验观察现象...

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。     

A Theoretical Model for the Asymmetric Transmission of Powerful Acoustic Wave in Double-Layer Liquids

A theoretical model which couples the oscillation of cavitation bubbles with the equation of an acoustic wave is utilized to describe the sound fields in double-layer liquids, which can be used to realize the asymmetric transmission of acoustic waves. Numerical simulations show that the asymmetry is related to the properties of the host liquids and the input acoustic wave. Asymmetry can be enhanced if the maximum number density or the ambient radius of the cavitation bubbles in the low cavitation threshold liquid increases. Moreover, the direction of rectification will be reversed if the amplitude of the input acoustic wave becomes high enough.     

Bubble size distribution in acoustic droplet vaporization via dissolution using an ultrasound wide-beam method

Performance and efficiency of numerous cavitation enhanced applications in a wide range of areas depend on the cavitation bubble size distribution. Therefore, cavitation bubble size estimation would be beneficial for biological and industrial applications that rely on cavitation. In this study, an acoustic method using a wide beam with low pressure is proposed to acquire the time intensity curve of the dissolution process for the cavitation bubble population and then determine the bubble size distribution. Dissolution of the cavitation bubbles in saline and in phase-shift nanodroplet emulsion diluted with undegassed or degassed saline was obtained to quantify the effects of pulse duration (PD) and acoustic power (AP) or peak negative pressure (PNP) of focused ultrasound on the size distribution of induced cavitation bubbles. It was found that an increase of PD will induce large bubbles while AP had only a little effect on the mean bubble size in saline. It was also recognized that longer PD and higher PNP increases the proportions of large and small bubbles, respectively, in suspensions of phase-shift nanodroplet emulsions. Moreover, degassing of the suspension tended to bring about smaller mean bubble size than the undegassed suspension. In addition, condensation of cavitation bubble produced in diluted suspension of phase-shift nanodroplet emulsion was involved in the calculation to discuss the effect of bubble condensation in the bubble size estimation in acoustic droplet vaporization. It was shown that calculation without considering the condensation might underestimate the mean bubble size and the calculation with considering the condensation might have more influence over the size distribution of small bubbles, but less effect on that of large bubbles. Without or with considering bubble condensation, the accessible minimum bubble radius was 0.4 or 1.7 μm and the step size was 0.3 μm. This acoustic technique provides an approach to estimate the size distribution of cavitation bubble population in opaque media and might be a promising tool for applications where it is desirable to tune the ultrasound parameters to control the size distribution of cavitation bubbles.     

Oscillation and Migration of Bubbles within Ultrasonic Field

The oscillation and migration of bubbles within an intensive ultrasonic field are important issues concerning acoustic cavitation in liquids.We establish a selection map of bubble oscillation mode related to initial bubble radius and driving sound pressure under 20 kHz ultrasound and analyze the individual-bubble migration induced by the combined effects of pressure gradient and acoustic streaming.Our results indicate that the pressure threshold of stable and transient cavitation decreases with the increasing initial bubble radius.At the pressure antinode,the Bjerknes force dominates the bubble migration, resulting in the large bubbles gathering toward antinode center,whereas small bubbles escape from antinode.By contrast,at the pressure node,the bubble migration is primarily controlled by acoustic streaming,which effectively weakens the bubble adhesion on the container walls,thereby enhancing the cavitation effect in the whole liquid.

含气泡液体中气泡振动的研究

研究了含气泡液体中单个气泡在驱动声场一定情况下的振动过程. 让每次驱动声场作用的时间特别短, 使气泡半径发生微小变化后再将其变化反馈到气泡群对驱动声场的散射作用中去, 从而可以得到某单个气泡周围受气泡散射影响后的声场, 接着再让气泡在该声场作用下做短时振动, 如此反复. 通过这样的方法, 研究了液体中单个气泡的振动情况并对其半径变化进行了数值模拟, 结果发现, 在液体中含有大量气泡的情况下, 某单个气泡的振动过程明显区别于液体中只有一个气泡的情况. 由于大量气泡和驱动声场的相互作用, 使气泡半径的变化存在多种不同的振动情况, 在不同的气泡大小和含量的情况下, 半径变化过程分别表现为: 在平衡位置附近振荡的过程; 周期性的空化过程; 一次空化过程后保持某一大小振荡的过程; 增长后维持某一大小振荡的过程等. 所以, 对于含气泡液体中气泡振动的研究, 在驱动声场一定的情况下, 必须考虑气泡含量的因素. 关键词： 含气泡液体 超声空化 散射 数值模拟     

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.     

Enhancement of cavitation activity and particle removal with pulsed high frequency ultrasound and supersaturation

Megasonic cleaning as applied in leading edge semiconductor device manufacturing strongly relies on the phenomenon of acoustic cavitation. As the occurrence of acoustic cavitation is incorporating a multitude of interdependent effects, the amount of cavitation activity in the cleaning liquid strongly depends on the sonication conditions. It is shown that cavitation activity as measured by means of ultraharmonic cavitation noise can be significantly enhanced when pulsed sonication is applied to a gas supersaturated liquid under traveling wave conditions. It is demonstrated that this enhancement coincides with a dramatic increase in particle removal and is therefore of great interest for megasonic cleaning applications. It is demonstrated that the optimal pulse parameters are determined by the dissolution time of the active bubbles, whereas the amount of cavitation activity depends on the ratio between pulse-off and pulse-on time as well as the applied acoustic power. The optimal pulse-off time is independent of the corresponding pulse-on time but increases significantly with increasing gas concentration. We show that on the other hand, supersaturation is needed to enable acoustic cavitation at aforementioned conditions, but has to be kept below values, for which active bubbles cannot dissolve anymore and are therefore lost during subsequent pulses. For the applicable range of gas contents between 100% and 130% saturation, the optimal pulse-off time reaches values between 150 and 340 ms, respectively. Full particle removal of 78 nm-diameter silica particles at a power density of 0.67 W/cm² is obtained for the optimal pulse-off times. The optimal pulse-off time values are derived from the dissolution time of bubbles with a radius of 3.3 μm and verified experimentally. The bubble radius used in the calculations corresponds to the linear resonance size in a 928 kHz sound field, which demonstrates that the recycling of active bubbles is the main enhancement mechanism. The optimal choice of the pulsing conditions however is constrained by the trade-off between the effective sonication time and the desire to have a sufficient amount of active bubbles at lower powers, which might be necessary if very delicate structures have to be cleaned.

以水为工作介质, 考虑了液体的可压缩性, 研究了驻波声场中空化泡的运动特性, 模拟了驻波场中各位置处空化泡的运动状态以及相关参数对各位置处空化泡在主Bjerknes力作用下运动方向的影响. 结果表明: 驻波声场中, 空化泡的运动状态分为三个区域, 即在声压波腹附近空化泡做稳态空化, 在偏离波腹处空化泡做瞬态空化, 在声压波节附近, 空化泡在主Bjerknes 力作用下, 一直向声压波节处移动, 显示不发生空化现象; 驻波场中声压幅值增加有利于空化的发生, 但声压幅值增加到一定上限时, 压力波腹区域将排斥空化泡, 并驱赶空化泡向压力波节移动, 不利于空化现象的发生; 当声频率小于初始空化泡的共振频率时, 声频率越高, 由于主Bjerknes 力的作用将有更多的空化泡向声压波节移动, 不利于空化的发生, 尤其是驻波场液面的高度不应是声波波长的1/4; 当声频率一定时, 空化泡初始半径越大越有利于空化现象的发生, 但当空化泡的初始半径超过声频率的共振半径时, 由于主Bjerknes力的作用将有更多的空化泡向声压波节移动, 不利于空化的发生.     

Effect of static pressure on acoustic energy radiated by cavitation bubbles in viscous liquids under ultrasound

The effect of static pressure on acoustic emissions including shock-wave emissions from cavitation bubbles in viscous liquids under ultrasound has been studied by numerical simulations in order to investigate the effect of static pressure on dispersion of nano-particles in liquids by ultrasound. The results of the numerical simulations for bubbles of 5 μm in equilibrium radius at 20 kHz have indicated that the optimal static pressure which maximizes the energy of acoustic waves radiated by a bubble per acoustic cycle increases as the acoustic pressure amplitude increases or the viscosity of the solution decreases. It qualitatively agrees with the experimental results by Sauter et al. [Ultrason. Sonochem. 15, 517 (2008)]. In liquids with relatively high viscosity (～200 mPa s), a bubble collapses more violently than in pure water when the acoustic pressure amplitude is relatively large (～20 bar). In a mixture of bubbles of different equilibrium radius (3 and 5 μm), the acoustic energy radiated by a 5 μm bubble is much larger than that by a 3 μm bubble due to the interaction with bubbles of different equilibrium radius. The acoustic energy radiated by a 5 μm bubble is substantially increased by the interaction with 3 μm bubbles.
