Outline of Final Research Achievements |
An experimental technique in combination with numerical simulation was developed, which allows one to study multiple-scale characteristics in the dynamics of cavitation bubbles in viscoelastic materials. Micron-sized bubble nuclei were produced by focusing infrared laser pulses into gelatin gels and their size was precisely controlled through mass transfer of dissolved gases; the gel viscoelasticity was measured from microscopic observation of individual cavitation bubbles arising from these nuclei and its comparison to Rayleigh-Plesset-type calculation. Furthermore, a cloud of cavitation bubbles arising from shock-microbubble interaction in gelatin gels was visualized as macroscopic observation. The threshold pressure of the cloud cavitation inception was inferred from comparison of the experiment to compressible fluid flow simulation.
