Shock Wave Interaction with Single Bubbles and Bubble Clouds

  • Chapter
Bubble Dynamics and Shock Waves

Part of the book series: Shock Wave Science and Technology Reference Library ((SHOCKWAVES,volume 8))

Abstract

Research on the interaction of shock waves with bubbles is highlighted by describing historic studies and recent experiments. We distinguish between the interaction of stable gas bubbles and cavitation bubbles. Gas bubbles and stabilized liquid menisci demonstrate a rapid jetting mechanism if exposed to shock waves. Cavitation bubbles can by themselves interact through the emission of acoustic transients and shock waves. We summarize some of the work on the interaction of stable bubbles and cavitation bubbles in clouds with shock waves. Most of the experimental findings are compared to simulation results using Boundary Element Method, Free Lagrange methods, and various techniques to solve the Euler equations with Finite Differences and Finite Volume techniques. We conclude this chapter by presenting recent advances from molecular dynamics simulations to predict nanobubble shock wave interaction.
