Cavitation in a flowing liquid.
نویسنده
چکیده
In this letter, I am going to propose that the cavitation threshold in a flowing liquid could be associated with the maximum tension that the fluid can sustain before undergoing cohesive fracture at a point. My criterion is not isotropic; I am thinking that a liquid will break if the tension in one direction exceeds a threshold, independent of the value of the other principal stresses. The other thought is that if a liquid breaks, it is a cohesive fracture in which the liquid molecules disassociate into vapor and recondense as mist.

Hydrodynamic cavitation in Stokes flow of anisotropic fluids
Cavitation, the nucleation of vapour in liquids, is ubiquitous in fluid dynamics, and is often implicated in a myriad of industrial and biomedical applications. Although extensively studied in isotropic liquids, corresponding investigations in anisotropic liquids are largely lacking. Here, by combining liquid crystal microfluidic experiments, nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations and th...
متن کاملCavitation and the state of stress in a flowing liquid
In startup of steady shearing flow of two viscous unentangled liquids, namely low-molecular-weight polystyrene and -Dglucose, the shear stress catastrophically collapses if the shear rate is raised above a value coresponding to a critical initial shear stress of around 0.1-0.3 Mpa. The time-dependence of the shear stress during

Cavitation is commonly defined as a phenomenon in a liquid-flowing system when the pressure of the liquid falls sufficiently low in some region of the flow so that vapor bubbles are formed. The study of the dynamics of cavitation is an active research in many fields of science and engineering. Typical examples in relation to various features and characteristics of cavitating flows can be found,...
متن کاملThe effect of pressure gradient on the collapse of cavitation bubbles in normal and reduced gravity
When water flows through hydraulic turbomachines, the local pressure can become low enough to vaporize the water and create vapor cavities. This phenomenon is called cavitation. When the cavities collapse, shock waves and liquid jets traveling through the inclusions can erode nearby solid surfaces. The collapse of cavitation bubbles has been extensively investigated in the case of a single bubb...
متن کاملEvaluation of Sonochemiluminescence in a Phantom in the Presence of Protoporphyrin IX Conjugated to Nanoparticles
Introduction When a liquid is irradiated with high-intensity and low-frequency ultrasound, acoustic cavitation occurs and there are some methods to determine and quantify this phenomenon. The existing methods for performing these experiments include sonochemiluminescence (SCL) and chemical dosimetric methods. The particles in a liquid decrease the ultrasonic intensity threshold needed for cavit...
