Molecular Dynamics Simulation on Dynamic Properties of Bubble

Abstract:

Development of a single bubble in free space under the canonical ensemble was studied by using molecular dynamics simulation method. The detailed dynamic characteristics in the evolution process were analyzed by calculating the displacement of molecules, density, diffusion coefficient, pressure and potential energy of bubble. The results indicate that the evolution is divided into three stages according to the change of bubble potential energy, which are expansion, compression and balance state respectively. The temperature and density have significant influences on the final state of bubbles. The bubble in the liquid with larger density has a higher transition rate. The collapsing speed of bubble becomes faster with temperature increasing.
