Mechanism and dynamics of hydrodynamic-acoustic cavitation (HAC)

Bubble clusters in hydrodynamic cavitation, acoustic cavitation and hydrodynamic-acoustic cavitation (HAC) are investigated via high-speed photography. By introducing a cavitation state variable, a method for cavitation characterization is proposed. The periodic characteristics and intensity distributions of hydrodynamic cavitation, acoustic cavitation and HAC are quantitatively analyzed using this method. It is found that the range of HAC is evidently widened and the strength of HAC is significantly enhanced compared with hydrodynamic cavitation or acoustic cavitation. Furthermore, we developed a preliminary physical model describing the dynamics of a cavitation bubble in HAC and proposed a mechanism to explain the enhancement of the intensity in HAC.     

Cavitation characteristics analysis of a novel rotor-radial groove hydrodynamic cavitation reactor

Hydrodynamic cavitation was widely used in sterilization, emulsion preparation and other industrial fields. Cavitation intensity is the key performance index of hydrodynamic cavitation reactor. In this study, a novel rotor-radial groove (RRG) hydrodynamic cavitation reactor was proposed with good cavitation intensity and energy utilization. The cavitation performances of RRG hydrodynamic cavitation reactor was analyzed by utilizing computational fluid dynamics method. The cavitation intensity and the cavitation energy efficiency were used as evaluation indicators for RRG hydrodynamic cavitation reactor with different internal structures. The amount of generated cavitation for various shapes of the CGU, interaction distances and rotor speed were analyzed. The evolution cycle of cavitation morphology is periodicity (0.46 ms) in the CGU of RRG hydrodynamic cavitation reactor. The main cavitation regions of CGU were the outflow and inflow separation zones. The cavitation performance of rectangular-shaped CGU was better than the cylindrical-shaped CGU. In addition, the cavitation performance could be improved more effectively by increasing the rotor speed and decreasing the interaction distance. The research results could provide theoretical support for the research of cavitation mechanism of cavitation equipment.     

Study of low-frequency ultrasonic cavitation fields based on spectral analysis technique

A kind of new spectral analysis method for analyzing ultrasonic cavitation fields is brought forward in this paper. This method extracts the line spectrum and the continuous spectrum from the cavitation noise spectrum respectively, then obtains estimations of the energy intensities of different cavitation components such as the stable cavitation and the transient cavitation through corresponding calculations. The method is also applied to investigate low-frequency ultrasonic cavitation fields and is compared with spectral level analysis method. The results show that this method can provide adequate information on the course of the cavitation process, give the delicate analysis on the transient cavitation and the stable cavitation, and help to gain an insight into the nonlinear process of cavitation fields. Moreover, it also shows that the criterion for characterization of cavitation intensity presented by Frohly through studying the high-frequency ultrasonic fields can be used to evaluate the low-frequency ultrasonic fields.     

Experimental research into time–frequency characteristics of cavitation noise using wavelet scalogram

The cavitation has become the main cause of the damage to the hydraulic machine. Cavitation detection is very important to guarantee the safe running of the hydraulic machine. The sound, especially the audible sound, based methods are becoming attractive due to their simplicity and logicality in the application. However, the cavitation noise is easy to be contaminated by the background noise. In order to understand the characteristics of the cavitation noise deeply, using the wavelet scalogram analysis, this paper presents an experimental study to investigate the time–frequency characteristics of the cavitation noise of various cavitation states and the relation between the cavitation noise and the cavitation process. In addition, the method of parameters optimization for the wavelet is used to improve the transform performance of the wavelet scalogram. The results show that: the cavitation noise is composed of the components with wide band frequency and obvious impulse feature; but the cavitation noise of different cavitation stages has different time–frequency characteristics and compositions; in addition, the cavitation noise can be distinguished from the background noise because they have totally different frequency characteristic. This study validates that the cavitation noise can be used to detect the cavitation state and monitor the cavitation process.

Towards an understanding and control of cavitation activity in 1 MHz ultrasound fields

Various industrial processes such as sonochemical processing and ultrasonic cleaning strongly rely 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 a vessel is strongly depending on the ultrasonic process conditions. It is therefore crucial to quantify cavitation activity as a function of the process parameters. At 1 MHz, the active cavitation bubbles are so small that it is becoming difficult to observe them in a direct way. Hence, another metrology based on secondary effects of acoustic cavitation is more suitable to study cavitation activity. In this paper we present a detailed analysis of acoustic cavitation phenomena at 1 MHz ultrasound by means of time-resolved measurements of sonoluminescence, cavitation noise, and synchronized high-speed stroboscopic Schlieren imaging. It is shown that a correlation exists between sonoluminescence, and the ultraharmonic and broadband signals extracted from the cavitation noise spectra. The signals can be utilized to characterize different regimes of cavitation activity at different acoustic power densities. When cavitation activity sets on, the aforementioned signals correlate to fluctuations in the Schlieren contrast as well as the number of nucleated bubbles extracted from the Schlieren Images. This additionally proves that signals extracted from cavitation noise spectra truly represent a measure for cavitation activity. The cyclic behavior of cavitation activity is investigated and related to the evolution of the bubble populations in the ultrasonic tank. It is shown that cavitation activity is strongly linked to the occurrence of fast-moving bubbles. The origin of this “bubble streamers” is investigated and their role in the initialization and propagation of cavitation activity throughout the sonicated liquid is discussed. Finally, it is shown that bubble activity can be stabilized and enhanced by the use of pulsed ultrasound by conserving and recycling active bubbles between subsequent pulsing cycles.     

Numerical prediction of tip vortex cavitation behavior and noise considering nuclei size and distribution

The tip vortex cavitation behavior and sound generation were numerically analyzed. A numerical scheme combining Eulerian flow field computation and Lagrangian particle trace approach was applied to simulate tip vortex cavitation. Flow field was computed by using hybrid method which combines Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes solver with Dissipation Vortex Model. The trajectory and behavior of each cavitation bubble were computed by Newton’s second law and Rayleigh-Plesset equation, respectively. According to nuclei population data, the cavitation nuclei were distributed and convected into the tip vortex flow. Calculated volume of the cavitation bubble and the trajectory were used as the input of cavitation bubble noise analysis. The relationship of cavitation inception, sound pressure level, and cavitation nuclei size was studied at several cavitation numbers. It was found that cavitation inception of smaller nuclei is more sensitive to the change of cavitation number and cavitation noise due to the cavitated smallest nuclei has the most influence on overall tip vortex cavitation noise.     

Acoustic characterization of cavitation intensity: A review

Cavitation intensity is used to describe the activity of cavitation, and several methods are developed to identify the intensity of cavitation. This work aimed to provide an overview and discussion of the several existing characterization methods for cavitation intensity, three acoustic approaches for charactering cavitation were discussed in detail. It was showed that cavitation noise spectrum is too complex and there are some differences and disputes on the characterization of cavitation intensity by cavitation noise. In this review, we recommended a total cavitation noise intensity estimated via the integration of real cavitation noise spectrum over full frequency domain instead of artificially adding inaccurate filtering processing.     

A correlation between cavitation bubble temperature,sonoluminescence and interfacial chemistry – A minireview

Ultrasound induced cavitation (acoustic cavitation) process is found useful in various applications. Scientists from various disciplines have been exploring the fundamental aspects of acoustic cavitation processes over several decades. It is well documented that extreme localised temperature and pressure conditions are generated when a cavitation bubble collapses. Several experimental techniques have also been developed to estimate cavitation bubble temperatures. Depending upon specific experimental conditions, light emission from cavitation bubbles is observed, referred to as sonoluminescence. Sonoluminescence studies have been used to develop a fundamental understanding of cavitation processes in single and multibubble systems. This minireview aims to provide some highlights on the development of basic understandings of acoustic cavitation processes using cavitation bubble temperature, sonoluminescence and interfacial chemistry over the past 2–3 decades.

Characteristics of cavitation onset and development in a self-excited fluidic oscillator

Hydrodynamic cavitation has been widely employed in modern chemical technology. A high-speed camera experiment is conducted to reveal the characteristics of hydrodynamic cavitation generated in one self-excited fluidic oscillator. The images obtained from the high-speed camera system are employed to describe several development stages of the hydrodynamic cavitation. The gray intensity of the images which is the volume of bubbles formed is extracted to distinguish the cavitation bubbles from the water. It is found that three regions in the fluidic oscillator could be divided according to the distance from the entrance. The inception of cavitation occurs in the region nearest the entrance. For a relatively low inlet flow rate, the whole process of cavitation could complete within the region that is the second nearest the entrance as a low pressure area appears periodically in this region. For a high inlet flow rate, the vortexes in the region farthest from the entrance are able to generate sufficient low pressures to induce the generation of cavitation. In addition, the intensity of cavitation could be reflected by the cavitation number in a self-excited fluidic oscillator.
