Vapor compression and energy dissipation in a collapsing laser-induced bubble

Mohamed Farhat, Danail Obreschkow, Armand Baptiste Sieber, Davide Bernardo Preso

The composition of the gaseous phase of cavitation bubbles and its role on the collapse remains to date poorly understood. In this work, experiments of single cavitation bubbles in aqueous ammonia serve as a novel approach to investigate the effect of the ...

BIMBAMBUM: A potential flow solver for single cavitation bubble dynamics

Mohamed Farhat, Armand Baptiste Sieber, Davide Bernardo Preso

In the absence of analytical solutions for the dynamics of non -spherical cavitation bubbles, we have implemented a numerical simulation solver based on the boundary integral method (BIM) that models the behavior of a single bubble near an interface betwee ...

Cavitation bubble dynamics and microjet atomization near tissue-mimicking materials

Mohamed Farhat, Armand Baptiste Sieber, Davide Bernardo Preso

In recent years, considerable interest has been devoted to the interactions between cavitation bubbles and tissue-mimicking materials due to their promising applications in medicine and biomedical sciences. The strong fluid-structure interaction between a ...

Interactions of Cavitation Bubbles with Deformable Interfaces

Armand Baptiste Sieber

Cavitation is a topic that has long been of interest due to the large and growing range of applications associated with it. This is mainly because the collapse of cavitation bubbles releases a considerable amount of energy into the surrounding environment. ...

Ex uno plures: how to construct high-speed movies of collapsing cavitation bubbles from a single image

Mohamed Farhat, Armand Baptiste Sieber, Davide Bernardo Preso

The time-resolved visualization of the dynamics of a cavitation bubble usually requires the use of expensive high-speed cameras, which often provide a limited spatial resolution. In the present study, we propose an alternative to these high-speed imaging t ...

Dynamics of cavitation bubbles near granular boundaries

Mohamed Farhat, Armand Baptiste Sieber, Davide Bernardo Preso

We study the dynamics of a cavitation bubble near beds of sand of different grain sizes. We use high-speed imaging to observe the motion of the bubble and the sand for different values of the stand-off parameter gamma (dimensionless bubble-boundary distanc ...
