Effect of surface tension on the collapse of a cavitation bubble

Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

By means of numerical calculations on the BéSM6 computer, we study the effect of surface tension on the size and rate of collapse of a cavitation bubble for the entire region of surface tensions of real liquids σ=(160)·10 -2 N/m (at temperatures 290 K). The effect of two parallel solid walls bounding the liquid is taken into account.
