Investigation of cavitation bubble collapse near rigid boundary by lattice Boltzmann method

The dynamics of the bubble collapse near a rigid boundary is a fundamental issue for the bubble collapse application and prevention. In this paper, the bubble collapse is modeled by adopting the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and is verified, and then the dynamic characteristics of the collapsing bubble with the second collapse is investigated. The widely used Shan-Chen model in the LBM multiphase community is modified by coupling with the Carnahan-Starling equation of state (C-S EOS) and the exact difference method (EDM) for the forcing term treatment. The simulation results of the bubble profile evolution by the LBM are in excellent agreements with the theoretical and experimental results. From the two-dimensional pressure field evolution, the dynamic characteristics of the different parts during the bubble collapse stage are studied. The role of the second collapse in the rigid boundary damage is discussed, and the impeding effect between two collapses is demonstrated.

Modeling of collapsing cavitation bubble near solid wall by 3D pseudopotential multi-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann method:

Understanding the dynamic characteristic of the cavitation bubble near a solid wall is a fundamental issue for the bubble collapse application and prevention. In the present work, an improved three-dimensional multi-relaxation-time pseudopotential lattice Boltzmann model is adopted to investigate the cavitation bubble collapse near the solid wall. With respect to thermodynamic consistency, Laplace law verification, the three-dimensional pseudopotential multi-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann model is investigated. By the theoretical analysis, it is proved that the model can be regarded as a solver of the Rayleigh–Plesset equation, and confirmed by comparing the results of the lattice Boltzmann simulation and the Rayleigh–Plesset equation calculation for the case of cavitation bubble collapse in the infinite medium field. The bubble collapse near the solid wall is modeled using the improved pseudopotential multi-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann model. We find the lattice Boltzmann simulation and the experimental results have the same dynamic process by comparing the bubble profiles evolution. Form the pressure field and the velocity field evolution it is found that the tapered higher pressure region formed near the top of the bubble is a crucial driving force inducing the bubble collapse. This exploratory research demonstrates that the lattice Boltzmann method is an alternative tool for the study of the interaction between collapsing cavitation bubble and matter.
