Investigation of jet characteristics and vortex dynamics induced by bubble collapsing near a convex wall
摘要
Based on the high-speed photography experimental platform and open source software OpenFOAM, the collapse behavior of the cavitation bubble adjacent to a large-curvature convex wall is investigated. The influence of the wall-bubble dimensionless distance on the bubble collapse cases, jet characteristics, and vortex evolution is analyzed. The findings reveal that: (1) As the dimensionless wall-bubble distance γ increases, the collapse jet presents three typical cases: the single jet away from the wall, the single jet towards the wall, and the double jets. (2) The high-pressure region formed during bubble collapse transitions from the inferior lateral region to the bubble circumference as γ increases. (3) The vortex dynamics during bubble rebound are strongly dependent on the dimensionless distance γ. The wall-bound vortices that dominate at larger γ are caused by the rebound bubble impacting the wall.
