Dynamics of cavitation bubbles near a gas-entrapping rigid surface

We investigate the dynamics of a cavitation bubble near rigid surfaces decorated with a single gas-entrapping hole to understand the competition between the attraction of the rigid and the repulsion of the free boundary. The dynamics of laser-induced bubbles near this gas-entrapping hole is studied as a function of the stand-off distance and diameter of the hole. Two kinds of toroidal collapses are observed that are the result of the collision of a wide microjet with the bubble wall. The bubble centroid displacement and the strength of the microjet are compared with the anisotropy parameter $\zeta$ , which is derived from a Kelvin impulse analysis. We find that the non-dimensional displacement $\delta$ scales with $\zeta$ .

Abstract

We investigate the dynamics of a cavitation bubble near rigid surfaces decorated with a single gas-entrapping hole to understand the competition between the attraction of the rigid and the repulsion of the free boundary. The dynamics of laser-induced bubbles near this gas-entrapping hole is studied as a function of the stand-off distance and diameter of the hole. Two kinds of toroidal collapses are observed that are the result of the collision of a wide microjet with the bubble wall. The bubble centroid displacement and the strength of the microjet are compared with the anisotropy parameter $\zeta$ , which is derived from a Kelvin impulse analysis. We find that the non-dimensional displacement $\delta$ scales with $\zeta$ .
