Area of Science:

  • Fluid dynamics
  • Laser-induced cavitation
  • Solid mechanics

Background:

  • Cavitation bubbles generated by lasers can induce significant pressure stresses.
  • Understanding bubble-boundary interactions is crucial for preventing material damage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To experimentally investigate the interaction between laser-generated cavitation bubbles and an inertial boundary.
  • To identify and analyze phenomena like liquid jet development and shock wave emission.
  • To assess the relevance of these phenomena in causing pressure stresses on the boundary.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized schlieren photography to visualize bubble dynamics.
  • Employed a thin film transducer to measure pressure stresses on the boundary.
  • Experimentally created cavitation bubbles near a solid surface at varying locations.

Main Results:

  • Observed the formation of a liquid jet directed towards the boundary during bubble collapse.
  • Detected shock waves emitted from the collapsing bubble.
  • Identified a "splash" phenomenon at the fluid-solid interface.
  • Correlated bubble collapse dynamics with measured pressure stresses.

Conclusions:

  • Laser-generated cavitation bubble collapse near a boundary produces complex phenomena.
  • Liquid jet impact and shock wave propagation are key contributors to boundary stress.
  • The location of bubble generation significantly influences the magnitude and nature of damaging stresses.
