Simulation of Rayleigh Bubble Growth near a No-Slip Rigid Wall

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to study the role of growing cavitation bubbles in the context of ultrasonic cleaning, we perform two-dimensional, axisymmetric Navier-Stokes simulation for compressible, multicomponent flow and examine the so-called Rayleigh growth of an air bubble (with initial radius 33 µm and pressure 10 MPa) near a rigid wall. The simulation suggests that strong shear stress, which is important in physical cleaning such as particle removal, appears as a result of the bubble-growth-induced shock passage. The parametric study with varying a standoff distance of the bubble to the wall shows that the wall shear stress linearly decreases against the standoff distance.
