Abstract

The impact of a collapsing gas bubble above rigid, notched walls is considered. Such surface crevices and imperfections often function as bubble nucleation sites, and thus have a direct relation to cavitation-induced erosion and damage structures. A generic configuration is investigated numerically using a second-order accurate compressible multi-component flow solver in a two-dimensional axisymmetric coordinate system. Results show that the crevice geometry has a significant effect on the collapse dynamics, jet formation, subsequent wave dynamics and interactions. The wall-pressure distribution associated with erosion potential is a direct consequence of development and intensity of these flow phenomena.

Trummler et al. supplementary movie 1

Movie of an air bubble collapsing onto a wall showing numerical schlieren (left) and log-scale pressure field (right). Gas volume fraction $\alpha_g$ is shown as a shaded area of decreasing opacity with decreasing $\alpha_g$ (left), while the $\alpha_g = 0.5$ isoline is shown as a solid curve (right) representing a pseudo-phase-interface. Time and pressure correspond to a bubble with $R_0 = 400\,\mathrm{\mu m}$ exposed to a driving pressure of $p_\infty=10^7\,\mathrm{Pa}$. Note that the frame rate is ten times higher at the beginning of the movie. Movie 1 shows the configuration with a smooth wall (no crevice, $R_C= 0$) and an attached bubble with the stand-off distance $S/R_0 = 0.1 $.
