Experimental evaluation of methodologies for single transient cavitation bubble generation in liquids

Abstract Single bubble dynamics are of fundamental importance for understanding the underlying mechanisms in liquid–vapor transition phenomenon known as cavitation. In past years, numerous studies were published and results extrapolated from one technique to another further on “real-world” present paper, we highlight issues using various experimental approaches study cavitation its effects. We scrutinize transients generation behind tension-based energy deposition-based techniques overview physics production. Four vapor methods, which most commonly used single research, directly compared this study: pulsed laser technique, a high- low-voltage spark discharge tube arrest method. Important modifications implemented, demonstrating improvement production range, control repeatability. Results other similar literature, an extensive report topic is given scope work. Simple-to-implement presented categorized herein, order help with future design. Repeatability sphericity produced bubbles examined, well comprehensive subject, listing range highlighting attributes limitation transient techniques. Graphic abstract
