双泡耦合声空化动力学过程模拟

为了对双泡耦合的声空化过程进行模拟,本文从流体动力学控制方程和流体体积分数模型出发,在Fluent软件中构建双泡耦合超声空化三维有限元仿真模型,对超声波驱动下流体中双泡耦合声空化动力学过程进行数值模拟,并通过对空化气泡周围声场的变化进行分析研究双泡耦合声空化的非线性动力学特性.结果显示:在超声波驱动下,球形气泡先缓慢扩张,扩张到最大半径后迅速收缩直至溃灭;耦合双气泡间存在相互作用力,使得空化气泡的扩张受到抑制、气泡收缩时间增长;空化气泡在收缩阶段的能量转换能力增强,相比单气泡声空化,耦合双气泡溃灭时气泡内部的压强更大.本文分析结果将为超声空化泡群的动力学过程模拟提供参考.

空化场中大气泡对空化泡振动的抑制效应分析

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...

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.     

Spatial-temporal dynamics of cavitation bubble clouds in 1.2 MHz focused ultrasound field

Cavitation bubbles have been recognized as being essential to many applications of ultrasound. Temporal evolution and spatial distribution of cavitation bubble clouds induced by a focused ultrasound transducer of 1.2 MHz center frequency are investigated by high-speed photography. It is revealed that at a total acoustic power of 72 W the cavitation bubble cloud first emerges in the focal region where cavitation bubbles are observed to generate, grow, merge and collapse during the initial 600 μs. The bubble cloud then grows upward to the post-focal region, and finally becomes visible in the pre-focal region. The structure of the final bubble cloud is characterized by regional distribution of cavitation bubbles in the ultrasound field. The cavitation bubble cloud structure remains stable when the acoustic power is increased from 25 W to 107 W, but it changes to a more violent form when the acoustic power is further increased to 175 W.

Radial oscillation and translational motion of a gas bubble in a micro-cavity

According to classical nucleation theory, a gas nucleus can grow into a cavitation bubble when the ambient pressure is negative. Here, the growth process of a gas nucleus in a micro-cavity was simplified to two “events”, and the full confinement effect of the surrounding medium of the cavity was considered by including the bulk modulus in the equation of state. The Rayleigh–Plesset-like equation of the cavitation bubble in the cavity was derived to model the radial oscillation and translational motion of the cavitation bubble in the local acoustic field. The numerical results show that the nucleation time of the cavitation bubble is sensitive to the initial position of the gas nucleus. The cavity size affects the duration of the radial oscillation of the cavitation bubble, where the duration is shorter for smaller cavities. The equilibrium radius of a cavitation bubble grown from a gas nucleus increases with increasing size of the cavity. There are two possible types of translational motion: reciprocal motion around the center of the cavity and motion toward the cavity wall. The growth process of gas nuclei into cavitation bubbles is also dependent on the compressibility of the surrounding medium and the magnitude of the negative pressure. Therefore, gas nuclei in a liquid cavity can be excited by acoustic waves to form cavitation bubbles, and the translational motion of the cavitation bubbles can be easily observed owing to the confining influence of the medium outside the cavity.     

声场中双空化泡的运动特性

空化泡的运动特性是声场作用下的动力学行为,受空化泡初始半径,声压幅值,驱动声压频率,液体特性等众多因素的影响,是个复杂工程。本文从双空化泡运动方程出发,考虑到液体粘滞系数、空化泡辐射阻尼项的影响,研究了不同初始半径、驱动声压频率、驱动声压幅值、液体粘滞系数下空化泡泡壁的运动情况,研究结果表明不同初始半径、外界驱动声压频率、驱动声压幅值、液体粘滞系数均会对空化泡的膨胀比和空化泡的溃灭时间有一定影响。

超声振动珩磨作用下空化泡动力学及影响参数

为了合理利用超声振动珩磨作用下的空化效应,以磨削区单个空化泡为研究对象,考虑珩磨头合成扰动速度和珩磨压力的作用建立了磨削区空化泡的动力学模型。数值模拟了空化泡初始半径,珩磨压力,液体静压力和超声声压幅值对磨削区空化效应的影响。研究表明考虑超声振动珩磨作用时,空化泡膨胀的幅值会受到抑制,其溃灭时间也会缩短,而且较容易出现稳态空化。珩磨压力和液体静压力对磨削区空化主要起抑制作用,超声波声压幅值在一定范围内能够促进磨削区空化效果的提升。本文的研究为进一步理解超声振动珩磨的空化机理提供了理论支持。     

The interaction of shockwaves with a vapour bubble in boiling histotripsy: The shock scattering effect

Boiling histotripsy is a High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technique which uses a number of short pulses with high acoustic pressures at the HIFU focus to induce mechanical tissue fractionation. In boiling histotripsy, two different types of acoustic cavitation contribute towards mechanical tissue destruction: a boiling vapour bubble and cavitation clouds. An understanding of the mechanisms underpinning these phenomena and their dynamics is therefore paramount to predicting and controlling the overall size of a lesion produced for a given boiling histotripsy exposure condition. A number of studies have shown the effects of shockwave heating in generating a boiling bubble at the HIFU focus and have studied its dynamics under boiling histotripsy insonation. However, not much is known about the subsequent production of cavitation clouds that form between the HIFU transducer and the boiling bubble. The main objective of the present study is to examine what causes this bubble cluster formation after the generation of a boiling vapour bubble. A numerical simulation of 2D nonlinear wave propagation with the presence of a bubble at the focus of a HIFU field was performed using the k-Wave MATLAB toolbox for time domain ultrasound simulations, which numerically solves the generalised Westervelt equation. The numerical results clearly demonstrate the appearance of the constructive interference of a backscattered shockwave by a bubble with incoming incident shockwaves. This interaction (i.e., the reflected and inverted peak positive phase from the bubble with the incoming incident rarefactional phase) can eventually induce a greater peak negative pressure field compared to that without the bubble at the HIFU focus. In addition, the backscattered peak negative pressure magnitude gradually increased from 17.4 MPa to 31.6 MPa when increasing the bubble size from 0.2 mm to 1.5 mm. The latter value is above the intrinsic cavitation threshold of –28 MPa in soft tissue. Our results suggest that the formation of a cavitation cloud in boiling histotripsy is a threshold effect which primarily depends (a) the size and location of a boiling bubble, and (b) the sum of the incident field and that scattered by a bubble.     

Ultrasonic cavitation at liquid/solid interface in a thin Ga–In liquid layer with free surface

Cavitation in thin layer of liquid metal has potential applications in chemical reaction, soldering, extraction, and therapeutic equipment. In this work, the cavitation characteristics and acoustic pressure of a thin liquid Ga–In alloy were studied by high speed photography, numerical simulation, and bubble dynamics calculation. A self-made ultrasonic system with a TC4 sonotrode, was operated at a frequency of 20 kHz and a max output power of 1000 W during the cavitation recording experiment. The pressure field characteristic inside the thin liquid layer and its influence on the intensity, types, dimensions, and life cycles of cavitation bubbles and on the cavitation evolution process against experimental parameters were systematically studied. The results showed that acoustic pressure inside the thin liquid layer presented alternating positive and negative characteristics within 1 acoustic period (T). Cavitation bubbles nucleated and grew during the negative-pressure stage and shrank and collapsed during the positive-pressure stage. A high bubble growth speed of 16.8 m/s was obtained and evidenced by bubble dynamics calculation. The maximum absolute pressure was obtained at the bottom of the thin liquid layer and resulted in the strongest cavitation. Cavitation was divided into violent and weak stages. The violent cavitation stage lasted several hundreds of acoustic periods and had higher bubble intensity than the weak cavitation stage. Cavitation cloud preferentially appeared during the violent cavitation stage and had a life of several acoustic periods. Tiny cavitation bubbles with life cycles shorter than 1 T dominated the cavitation field. High cavitation intensities were observed at high ultrasonication power and when Q235B alloy was used because such conditions lead to high amplitudes on the substrate and further high acoustic pressure inside the liquid.
