A new cavitation model considering inter-bubble action

The process of cavitation involves generation, growth, coalescence, and collapse small bubbles is tremendously influenced by bubble–bubble interactions. To understand these interactions, a new model based on the transport equation proposed herein. modified Rayleigh–Plesset analyzed to determine bubble growth rate assuming equal-sized spherical clouds. source term in then derived according with bubble-bubble interaction. validated various test simulations, including microscopic cloud evolution as well macroscopical two- three-dimensional cavitating flows. Compared previous models, namely Kunz Zwart newly does not require adjustable parameters generally results better predictions both cases. This more physical.
