Numerical solution of the cavitation bubble dynamics
Münster, Filip ; Himr, Daniel (referee) ; Rudolf, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis deals with the numerical solution of cavitation bubble dynamics and with cyanobacteria gas vesicle behaviour. A program for the numerical calculation of bubble dynamics is created using the Rayleigh-Plesset equation and its modifications. Subsequently, bubbles of different sizes are investigated during acoustic cavitation with various driving frequencies. Furthermore, a model for hydrodynamic cavitation is created. The model combines CFD computation of flow in the Venturi nozzle with the cavitation bubble dynamics calculation. The last part of the work is dedicated to cyanobacteria gas vesicle behaviour in a variable pressure field and during passage through the Venturi nozzle.

Dynamics of cavitation induced by focused tandem shock waves in water
Hoffer, Petr ; Šunka, Pavel ; Lukeš, Petr
Cavitation associated with the generation of shock waves in water was examined. To study these processes, a tandem shock wave generator, which generates two cylindrical pressure waves focused by a metallic parabolic reflector to a common focal region, was developed. The temporal evolution of cavitation generated by shock waves at the focal region was determined experimentally using high-temporal-resolution microphotography for a certain time delay between the first and second shock waves. Observation of the focal area also showed jetting cavitation bubbles with diameters of 100 m without presence of any rigid boundary. A theoretical model that provides analytical expressions for the temporal evolution of the pressure inside the cavitation bubbles and parameters of the pressure waveform of the second shock wave at the focal area was used to improve the same measurement by PVDF sensor gauges. On the basis of this model, the amplitudes of the compression and rarefaction parts

PERTURBANCE ANALYSIS AND FISSION MODEL OF COLLAPSING BUBBLE
Petrík, P. ; Zima, Patrik ; Ridha, A.
A new criterion for the assessment of the reliability of the Rayleigh-Plesset equation is proposed. An analysis of the shape stability of the spherical surface of the bubble during the collapse is used to develop a physical model, which incorporates the loss of shape stability, surface energy dissipation and fission process. The model also estimates the number of bubble fragments as well as conditions for the fission to occur. Finally, some aspects of the numerical code, especially error estimation and propagation of rounding error, are discussed.

COLLAPSE OF A CAVITATION BUBBLE GENERATED BY LOW VOLTAGE DISCHARGE IN WATER
Müller, M. ; Unger, J. ; Buďárek, T. ; Zima, Patrik
The article presents experimental results of the optical study of cavitation bubble collapse close to a solid boundary in water. The bubble was generated by discharge of two low-voltage capacitors. High-speed CCD camera was used to record the time evolution of the bubble size. High-power halogen lamp was used for illumination. The system was synchronized by pulse generator connected to an oscilloscope. The velocity of the re-entrant jet was estimated from the time resolved photography for three different maximum bubble sizes.

Spatial vapour density measurements inside laser induced cavitation bubbles
Hošek, Jan ; Garen, W. ; Shönig, H.
Cavitation bubbles have been studied and reported as an undesirable side effect in many of the medical application used of laser ablation like eye or cardio surgery in recent years. Our intention was to gain a physical information about processes inside the cavitation bubble. We develop a new technique for direct gas/vapour property measurements during the cavitation process in the bubble based on determination of bubble gas density.
