High frequency imaging system for the analysis of cavitation bubble collapse

Abstract

High frequency imaging system for the analysis of cavitation bubble collapse. The present proposal requests funds for the purchase of a high frequency imaging system. The objective is to measure simultaneously the temperature, the pressure, and the content of a cavitation bubble at 10,000 Hz and above. These data will provide some unprecedented information about the dynamics of cavitation bubbles, especially the physics of the collapse and the interactions between bubbles. The new high-speed system, combined with the existing capabilities of bubble creation at Virginia Tech, will thus be a major advance in the analysis and the understanding of cavitation induced phenomena of interest for the Navy, like material erosion.
