This paper studies the interaction between two cavitation bubbles under conditions with or without a wall. The results show that if the inception of two cavitation bubbles is not synchronized, the cavitation bubble of early inception collapse backwards the cavitation bubble of later inception; if the inception of two cavitation bubbles is synchronized, the two bubbles collapse towards each other; if a wall exists nearby, no matter whether the line connecting the centers of the two cavitation bubbles is vertical or parallel to the wall, the two cavitation bubbles collapse towards each other and then gradually merge, and the merged collapse body quickly moves to the wall. It is suggested that, as the number of cavitation bubbles increases, the cavitation erosion effect is not simply increased proportionally. Instead, mutual inhibitory effect may be demonstrated.展开更多

A set of formulas for K-ε turbulence model modified with the presence of microbubbles,is employed. With considering the effect of gravity, interfacial lift, inter-phase friction, virtualmass force and interfacial pressure on the flow with microbubbles, numerical calculations for theinfluence of variable air volume fracton as well as distribution, injecting speed, microbubblediameter and position of introducing microbubbles on the friction reduction are presented. Resultsshow that the friction reduction increases with increasing volume fraction and microbubble diameterwithin the range of 100μm, and that the velocity in the boundary layer with microbubbles is greaterthan that without microbubbles. The order of magnitude and trends of the experimental skin-frictionare reproduced well. The uniform free-stream speed in all cases is 4m/s, giving Reynolds number ofup to 20 million.展开更多

It was found that the shape and dimensions of both the natural supercavitation and the ventilated supercavitation are similar through the comparison of them when the cavitation number is small and equal, and the contour of both the natural supercavitation and the ventilated supercavitation can be calculated effectively with the Savchenko formula. The gravity effect can induce the asymmetry of ventilated supercavitation, and the asymmetry is more apparent as the Froude number is smaller. The empirical formula for calculating the axial deformation of ventilated supercavitation was corrected and expanded based on experiment data. The evolution rules of both the natural supercavitation and the ventilated supercavitation were described, and the vortex frequency of natural cavitation was obtained. In addition, the hysteretic aspect was observed between the development and the fall process of ventilated cavitation.展开更多
