Shock waves and noise in the collapse of a cloud of cavitation bubbles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Calculations of the collapse dynamics of a cloud of cavitation bubbles confirm the speculakions of M#rch and his co-workers and demonstrate that collapse occurs as a result of the inward propagation of a shock wave which grows rapidly in magnitude. Results are presented showing the evolving dynamics of the cloud and the resulting far-field acoustic noise.

Numerical Computation of Shock Waves in a Spherical Cloud of Cavitation Bubbles
The nonlinear dynamics of a spherical cloud of cavitation bubbles have been simulated numerically in order to learn more about the physical phenomena occurring in cloud cavitation. A finite cloud of nuclei is subject to a decrease in the ambient pressure which causes the cloud to cavitate. A subsequent pressure recovery then causes the cloud to collapse. This is typical of the transient behavio...
متن کاملShock wave measurements in cloud cavitation
One of the most destructive (and noisy) forms of cavitation is that referred to as “cloud cavitation” because it involves a large collection of bubbles which behave as a coherent whole. The present paper presents the results of an experimental study of the processes of collapse of a cavitation bubble cloud, specifically that generated by an oscillating hydrofoil in a water tunnel. Measurements ...
متن کاملSome Current Advances in Cavitation Research
Several recent experimental and allalytical investigations of cavitating flows have revealed new phenomena which clearly affect how we should view cavitation growth arid collapse and the strategies used t o ameliorate its adverse effects. On the scale of individual bubbles it is now clear that the dynamics and acoustics of single bubbles are severely affected by the distortion of the bubble by ...
متن کاملDetachment and sonoporation of adherent HeLa-cells by shock wave-induced cavitation.
The interaction of lithotripter-generated shock waves with adherent cells is investigated using high-speed optical techniques. We show that shock waves permeabilize adherent cells in vitro through the action of cavitation bubbles. The bubbles are formed in the trailing tensile pulse of a lithotripter-generated shock wave where the pressure drops below the vapor pressure. Upon collapse of cavita...
متن کاملDamage Potential of the Shock-induced Collapse of a Gas Bubble
Numerical simulations are used to evaluate the damage potential of the shock-induced collapse of a pre-existing gas bubble near a rigid surface. In the context of shock wave lithotripsy, a medical procedure where focused shock waves are used to pulverize kidney stones, shock-induced bubble collapse represents a potential mechanism by which the shock energy directed at the stone may be amplified...
