Cavitation Dynamics: IV. Collapse of Transient Cavities.

Abstract

Calculations have been made of the maximum pressures and temperatures that may occur in collapsing argon bubbles in water through use of a previously developed mathematical formulation (J. Acoust. Soc. 57, 1379-1396 (1975)). Equation-of-state data valid for water and argon at high pressures were introduced into the formulation in an effort to determine upper bounds of such maximum pressures and temperatures. The limitation imposed on pressures and temperatures in collapsing bubbles by growing perturbations on spherical interfaces was also studied. (Author)
