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

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

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 ...

Interactions of Cavitation Bubbles with Deformable Interfaces

Armand Baptiste Sieber

Cavitation is a topic that has long been of interest due to the large and growing range of applications associated with it. This is mainly because the collapse of cavitation bubbles releases a considerable amount of energy into the surrounding environment. ...

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, ...

High-speed imaging of high pressures produced by cavitation bubbles

Mohamed Farhat, Danail Obreschkow, Outi Supponen

Cavitation bubbles, when correctly tuned, may provide interesting mechanical and chemical effects to their surroundings owing to their violent collapse. Such an event may produce high-speed liquid jetting, extreme heating, as well as pressures of thousands ...

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 ...

The effect of pressure gradient on the collapse of cavitation bubbles in normal and reduced gravity

Marc Tinguely

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 ...

Luminescence from hydrodynamic cavitation

Mohamed Farhat

The majority of the research on cavitation luminescence has focused on the sonoluminescence or chemiluminescence generated by cavitation induced through ultrasound, with a lesser body of work on the luminescence induced by laser- or spark induced cavitatio ...

Techniques for generating centimetric drops in microgravity and application to cavitation studies

Mohamed Farhat, Danail Obreschkow, Nicolas Dorsaz, Philipp Kobel, Aurèle De Bosset

This paper describes the techniques and physical parameters used to produce stable centimetric water drops in microgravity, and to study single cavitation bubbles inside such drops (Parabolic Flight Campaigns, European Space Agency ESA). While the main sci ...

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 ...

Interaction of a cavitation bubble with a spherical free surface

Mohamed Farhat, Danail Obreschkow, Nicolas Dorsaz, Philipp Kobel, Aurèle De Bosset

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 ...
