چکیده

Abstract In this work, the behaviour of a gas bubble in a low Mach number, weakly viscous dielectric liquid under the action of a spatially-uniform electric field is considered. Using domain perturbation analysis and assuming any shape deformation of the bubble or induced translation to be small, but placing no such restriction on the volume oscillations, appropriate equations to second order in the small interactions terms are derived. Steady and time-dependent solutions are presented. Our results indicate that only even shape modes and odd components of the interfacial charge density are excited starting from an initially stationary and uncharged spherical bubble. In order for the bubble to be set into motion it must either be initially deformed in terms of an odd shape mode or acquire an even charge density component. We examine situations wherein all modes are excited and demonstrate the presence of an instability that arises due to a coupling between an even mode of the charge density and bubble translation. The instability manifests itself via the sudden acceleration of the bubble and growth of its radius; this leads ultimately to conditions beyond the reach of the present theory.

Modelling cavitation erosion using fluid-material interaction simulations.

Material deformation and pitting from cavitation bubble collapse is investigated using fluid and material dynamics and their interaction. In the fluid, a novel hybrid approach, which links a boundary element method and a compressible finite difference method, is used to capture non-spherical bubble dynamics and resulting liquid pressures efficiently and accurately. The bubble dynamics is intima...

Free-Lagrange simulations of the expansion and jetting collapse of air bubbles in water

A free-Lagrange numerical method is implemented to simulate the axisymmetric jetting collapse of air bubbles in water. This is performed for both lithotripter shock-induced collapses of initially stable bubbles, and for free-running cases where the bubble initially contains an overpressure. The code is validated using two test problems (shock-induced bubble collapse using a step shock, and shoc...

Epithelial cell deformation during surfactant-mediated airway reopening: a theoretical model.

A theoretical model is presented describing the reopening by an advancing air bubble of an initially liquid-filled collapsed airway lined with deformable epithelial cells. The model integrates descriptions of flow-structure interaction (accounting for nonlinear deformation of the airway wall and viscous resistance of the airway liquid flow), surfactant transport around the bubble tip (incorpora...

Controlled manipulation and in situ mechanical measurement of single co nanowire with a laser-induced cavitation bubble.

The flow induced by a single laser-induced cavitation bubble is used to manipulate individual Co nanowires. The short-lived (<20 μs) bubble with a maximum size of 45 μm is created in an aqueous solution with a laser pulse. Translation, rotation, and radial motion of the nanowire can be selectively achieved by varying the initial distance and orientation of the bubble with respect to the nanowir...
