A unified theory for bubble dynamics
Harbin Engineering University · Sanya University
Abstract
In this work, we established a novel theory for the dynamics of oscillating bubbles such as cavitation bubbles, underwater explosion bubbles, and air bubbles. For the first time, we proposed bubble dynamics equations that can simultaneously take into consideration the effects of boundaries, bubble interaction, ambient flow field, gravity, bubble migration, fluid compressibility, viscosity, and surface tension while maintaining a unified and elegant mathematical form. The present theory unifies different classical bubble equations such as the Rayleigh–Plesset equation, the Gilmore equation, and the Keller–Miksis equation. Furthermore, we validated the theory with experimental data of bubbles with a variety in…
