Abstract

The present study consists in a further step of a path finalised to investigate, with proper analytical methods, hydrodynamic cavitation, that is to predict the bubble motion, when the bubble lies in a prescribed flow, as it would be in the presence of hydrodynamic devices. The motion, within a fluid at rest, of a bubble in a plane parallel to the gravity field is studied here, as a first step to investigate the behavior of the bubble when subject to transport of a background two-dimensional flow field.

    In fact:

    $$ \ddot{x}_{\text {cm}1} = \dfrac{d}{dt}(w_{\text {cm}}\cos \alpha ) = \dot{w}_{\text {cm}}\cos \alpha - w_{\text {cm}}\sin \alpha \,\dot{\alpha }, \qquad \ddot{x}_{\text {cm}2} = \dfrac{d}{dt}(w_{\text {cm}}\sin \alpha ) = \dot{w}_{\text {cm}}\sin \alpha + w_{\text {cm}}\cos \alpha \,\dot{\alpha }. $$
