近固壁微米尺度空泡溃灭的数值研究

考虑空泡表面张力、液体黏性和气体可压缩性,采用VOF多相流模型对近固壁微米尺度空泡在静止流场溃灭过程进行了数值研究.获得了近固壁空泡溃灭过程的流场细节,分析了空泡与固壁的无量纲距离γ对空泡溃灭过程动力特性的影响,并揭示了不同γ条件下的固壁空蚀破坏机理.计算结果表明:随着γ的减小,泡心向固壁移动的趋势明显,射流形成前空泡上部高压区内压力减小,空泡溃灭时间延长,最大射流速度减小.模拟结果验证了空泡溃灭将产生冲击波和高速微射流,二者均会在固壁面产生脉冲压力,其是造成壁面损伤的两种主要原因.参数γ对固壁的空蚀破坏机理有重要影响.与微射流机制相比,以冲击波机制为主的空蚀破坏更显著.微射流冲击固壁的作用半径为10μm左右,将引起固壁"点"蚀坑的出现.当γ=2.0时,冲击波扫掠壁面的范围相对较广,有效作用半径约为1 mm,其导致固壁产生较大圆形蚀坑,且中心空蚀严重.

(2) 溃灭后期在空泡周围会形成高压区域, 该区域的压力梯度与速度梯度较高, 随着空泡收缩, 高压区域面积逐渐减小. (3) 空泡在自由场中发生溃灭时, 空泡势能不断转化为流场动能, 在溃灭时刻可以明显观察到冲击波现象, 空泡的大部分能量会在此时转化为冲击波的波能.

N表面张力对近固壁二空化泡影响的数值研究

在忽略浮力下，用边界积分方法数值模拟了表面张力对固壁之上且靠近固壁的二轴对称空化泡生长和溃灭的影响，发现在下空泡最大等效半径为上空泡一半情形，若固壁对下空泡的Bjerknes力大于上空泡对下空泡的Bjerknes力，则表面张力的作用将使下空泡溃灭加速，使其向下的液体射流变强变宽；若固壁对下空泡的Bjerknes力小于上空泡对下空泡的Bjerknes力，则表面张力的作用将使下空泡溃灭变慢，使其向上射流变弱变细长；若这两个Bjerknes力近于相等，则表面张力将会对下空泡溃灭有重大作用，如改变下空泡射流的方向甚至形式(如由环状变向下或由向上变环状)，当上空泡等于或小于下空泡时，表面张力将不会对这两个空泡的行为产生显著影响，定性地分析了表面张力作用的机理。

Numerical simulation of a single bubble by compressible two‐phase fluids

The present work deals with the numerical investigation of a collapsing bubble in a liquid–gas fluid, which is modeled as a single compressible medium. The medium is characterized by the stiffened gas law using different material parameters for the two phases. For the discretization of the stiffened gas model, the approach of Saurel and Abgrall is employed where the flow equations, here the Euler equations, for the conserved quantities are approximated by a finite volume scheme, and an upwind discretization is used for the non‐conservative transport equations of the pressure law coefficients. The original first‐order discretization is extended to higher order applying second‐order ENO reconstruction to the primitive variables. The derivation of the non‐conservative upwind discretization for the phase indicator, here the gas fraction, is presented for arbitrary unstructured grids. The efficiency of the numerical scheme is significantly improved by employing local grid adaptation. For this purpose, multiscale‐based grid adaptation is used in combination with a multilevel time stepping strategy to avoid small time steps for coarse cells. The resulting numerical scheme is then applied to the numerical investigation of the 2‐D axisymmetric collapse of a gas bubble in a free flow field and near to a rigid wall. The numerical investigation predicts physical features such as bubble collapse, bubble splitting and the formation of a liquid jet that can be observed in experiments with laser‐induced cavitation bubbles. Opposite to the experiments, the computations reveal insight to the state inside the bubble clearly indicating that these features are caused by the acceleration of the gas due to shock wave focusing and reflection as well as wave interaction processes. While incompressible models have been used to provide useful predictions on the change of the bubble shape of a collapsing bubble near a solid boundary, we wish to study the effects of shock wave emissions into the ambient liquid on the bubble collapse, a phenomenon that may not be captured using an incompressible fluid model.

Dynamics of a cavitation bubble near a solid surface and the induced damage

Numerical and experimental studies of the dynamics of a cavitating bubble near a resilient metal surface were performed. To augment the experimental flow visualizations of a collapsing bubble, numerical simulations were conducted to more thoroughly identify the collapse dynamics and analyze the flow. A bubble collapse was captured using a high-speed camera and back illumination. The metal sample was made of pure aluminum placed near a collapsing cavitation bubble at various distances from the metal surface. Width, depth, and volume of the induced material deformations were measured using an optical microscope and a three-dimensional profilometer and then compared against existing experimental data from the literature. The cavitating bubble’s dynamics and the related flow were simulated numerically using the open source finite volume based flow solver CavitatingFOAM. This code solved the Navier–Stokes equations for compressible two-phase flows using an Euler–Euler approach, including the barotropic equations of state. Bubble shapes, collapse times, and obtained damage parameters were compared to experimental observations. Impact velocities, pressures, shear rates, and various flow phenomena were discussed, providing broad insight into bubble dynamics and the induced damage.

On the modeling and simulation of a laser‐induced cavitation bubble

Single cavitation bubbles exhibit severe modeling and simulation difficulties. This is due to the small scales of time and space as well as due to the involvement of different phenomena in the dynamics of the bubble. For example, the compressibility, phase transition, and the existence of a noncondensable gas inside the bubble have strong effects on the dynamics of the bubble. Moreover, the collapse of the bubble involves the occurrence of critical conditions for the pressure and temperature. This adds extra difficulties to the choice of equations of state. Even though several models and simulations have been used to study the dynamics of the cavitation bubbles, many details are still not clearly accounted for. Here, we present a numerical investigation for the collapse and rebound of a laser‐induced cavitation bubble in liquid water. The compressibility of the liquid and vapor are involved. In addition, great focus is devoted to study the effects of phase transition and the existence of a noncondensable gas on the dynamics of the collapsing bubble. If the bubble contains vapor only, we use the six‐equation model for two‐phase flows that was modified in our previous work [A. Zein, M. Hantke, and G. Warnecke, J. Comput. Phys., 229(8):2964‐2998, 2010]. This model is an extension to the six‐equation model with a single velocity of Kapila et al. (Phys. Fluid, 13:3002‐3024, 2001) taking into account the heat and mass transfer. To study the effect of a noncondensable gas inside the bubble, we add a third phase to the original model. In this case, the phase transition is considered only at interfaces that separate the liquid and its vapor. The stiffened gas equations of state are used as closure relations. We use our own method to determine the parameters to obtain reasonable equations of state for a wide range of temperatures and make them suitable for the phase transition effects. We compare our results with experimental ones. Also our results confirm some expected physical phenomena. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Analysis of diffusion-induced bubble growth in viscoelastic liquids

Transport models of diffusion-induced bubble growth in viscoelastic liquids are developed and evaluated. A rigorous model is formulated that can be used to describe bubble growth or collapse in a non-linear viscoelastic fluid, and takes into account convective and diffusive mass transport as well as surface tension and inertial effects. Predictions for bubble growth dynamics demonstrating the importance of fluid elasticity are presented. These predictions indicate that for diffusion-induced bubble growth in viscoelastic liquids, the lower bound for growth rate is given by growth in a Newtonian fluid and the upper bound by diffusion-controlled growth. The influence of non-linear fluid rheology on bubble growth dynamics is examined and found to be relatively minor in comparison to fluid elasticity. It is shown how previously published models employing various approximations can be derived from the rigorous model. Comparisons of predicted bubble growth dynamics from the rigorous and approximate models are used to establish the ranges of applicability for two commonly-used approximations. These comparisons indicate that models using a thin boundary layer approximation have a rather limited range of applicability. An analysis of published experimental bubble growth data is also carried out using appropriate transport models.

nfluence of exciting parameters on the vibration of single cavitation bubble driven by intensive sound

根据考虑了液体可压缩性的改进的微气泡动力学方程,采用改进的初始半径对单泡超声空化现象进行了数值计算研究. 结果表明,微气泡振动对一些参量很敏感：微气泡振动半径与初始半径的比值随振动频率的增大而减小;提高声场声压会加剧气泡崩塌程度,但过高的声压又不能使微气泡崩塌;微气泡崩塌速率随气泡初始半径的增加而增大,在一定范围内能保证空化泡稳定振动,在初始半径为1.6\,$\mu$m 处空化程度最强,如果继续增大初始半径则空化程度减弱、甚至消失;微气泡崩塌程度随黏滞系数和表面张力的增大而减弱,过大的黏滞系数和表面张力会使微气泡崩塌难以发生. 计算结果与他人的实验数据相比,发现液体的可压缩性使单泡空化强度增强, 对最佳空化区域范围的确定有较大的影响.

The motion of a small bubble in waves

The motion of a single spherical small bubble due to buoyancy in the ideal fluid with waves is investigated theoretically and experimentally in this article. Assuming that the bubble has no effect on the wave field, equations of a bubble motion are obtained and solved. It is found that the nonlinear effect increases with the increase of the bubble radius and the rising time. The rising time and the motion orbit are given by calculations and experiments. When the radius of a bubble is smaller than 0.5mm and the distance from the free surface is greater than the wave height, the results of the present theory are in close agreement with measurements.
