Vapor compression and energy dissipation in a collapsing laser-induced bubble

Mohamed Farhat, Danail Obreschkow, Davide Bernardo Preso, Armand Baptiste Sieber

The composition of the gaseous phase of cavitation bubbles and its role on the collapse remains to date poorly understood. In this work, experiments of single cavitation bubbles in aqueous ammonia serve as a novel approach to investigate the effect of the ...

Cavitation bubble dynamics and microjet atomization near tissue-mimicking materials

Mohamed Farhat, Davide Bernardo Preso, Armand Baptiste Sieber

In recent years, considerable interest has been devoted to the interactions between cavitation bubbles and tissue-mimicking materials due to their promising applications in medicine and biomedical sciences. The strong fluid-structure interaction between a ...

Ex uno plures: how to construct high-speed movies of collapsing cavitation bubbles from a single image

Mohamed Farhat, Davide Bernardo Preso, Armand Baptiste Sieber

The time-resolved visualization of the dynamics of a cavitation bubble usually requires the use of expensive high-speed cameras, which often provide a limited spatial resolution. In the present study, we propose an alternative to these high-speed imaging t ...

Perfluorocarbon emulsion enhances MR-ARFI displacement and temperature in vitro: Evaluating the response with MRI, NMR, and hydrophone

Mohamed Farhat, Davide Bernardo Preso

Sonosensitive perfluorocarbon F(8)TAC(18)-PFOB emulsion is under development to enhance heating, increase thermal contrast, and reduce treatment times during focused ultrasound tumor ablation of highly perfused tissue. The emulsion previously showed enhanc ...

The influence of the gas on the dynamics of cavitation bubbles

Davide Bernardo Preso

Cavitation bubbles, extensively investigated in fluid mechanics, present enduring challenges in hydraulic machinery, while holding considerable potential for practical applications in biomedicine and sonochemistry. Despite more than a century of research, ...

Design and fabrication of a vigorous "cavitation-on-a-chip" device with a multiple microchannel configuration

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Mohammad Jafarpour

Hydrodynamic cavitation is one of the major phase change phenomena and occurs with a sudden decrease in the local static pressure within a fluid. With the emergence of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), high-speed microfluidic devices have attracted co ...

Jetting from cavitation bubbles due to multiple shockwaves

Mohamed Farhat, Outi Supponen

We present experimental observations of microjets formed by cavitation microbubbles. An underwater electric discharge, applied beneath a flat free surface, produces a primary compression wave, which undergoes several phase inversions upon reflections from ...

Intensifying cavitating flows in microfluidic devices with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) microbubbles

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo

Cavitation and the energy associated with the collapse of resulting cavitation bubbles constitute an important research subject. The collapse of the hydrodynamic cavitation bubbles at the outlet of the flow elements leads to a high energy release and gener ...

Shock waves from nonspherical cavitation bubbles

Mohamed Farhat, Danail Obreschkow, Nicolas Dorsaz, Philipp Kobel, Marc Tinguely, Outi Supponen

We present detailed observations of the shock waves emitted at the collapse of single cavitation bubbles using simultaneous time-resolved shadowgraphy and hydrophone pressure measurements. The geometry of the bubbles is systematically varied from spherical ...

Collapse phenomena of deformed cavitation bubbles

Outi Supponen

Cavitation bubbles are a topic of long-standing interest owing to the powerful phenomena associated with their collapse. Their unique ability to focus energy typically causes damage in hydraulic machinery (turbines, pumps, propellers, ...) but, if managed ...

Signal analysis of an actively generated cavitation bubble in pressurized pipes for detection of wall stiffness drops

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Mohamed Farhat, Alexandre Jean Pachoud, Fadi Hachem

Due to the increasing production of volatile new renewable energies as solar and wind, storage hydropower plants have to operate under harsh operation conditions in order to stabilize the electricity grid. As a result, highly transient water pressures occu ...

Scaling study of cavitation pitting from cavitating jets and ultrasonic horns

Ayat Karimi

Cavitation erosion prediction and characterization of cavitation field strength are of interest to industries suffering from cavitation erosion detrimental effects. One means to evaluate cavitation fields and materials is to examine pitting rates during th ...

Application of spherical nanoindentation to determine the pressure of cavitation impacts from pitting tests

Ayat Karimi, Davide Carnelli

This article focuses on the use of spherical nanoindentation measurements to estimate the pressure of cavitation impacts and its statistical distribution. Indeed, nanoindentation techniques are supposed to represent an effective tool in this field due to t ...

Interaction of a cavitation bubble with a spherical free surface

Mohamed Farhat, Philipp Kobel, Danail Obreschkow, Nicolas Dorsaz, Philippe Kobel

The dynamic of a cavitation bubble inside a water drop is investigated in microgravity in order to analyze the interaction between the collapsing bubble and a quasispherical free surface. Tests are carried in the frame of the 42nd parabolic flight campaign ...

On the Dynamic of Cavitation Bubbles and Their Interaction with Solid and Free Surfaces

Mohamed Farhat

The cavitation phenomenon, which is due to a pressure drop in liquid flows, may be responsible of noise and vibration as well as efficiency alteration and material erosion. A tremendous work has been already performed to better understand the onset and dev ...
