Splitting and jetting of cavitation bubbles in thin gaps
Qingyun Zeng, Silvestre Roberto Gonzalez‐Avila, Claus‐Dieter Ohl
Abstract
We study the dynamics of cavitation bubbles and induced jets in a thin liquid gap bounded by two rigid walls. The bubbles are generated experimentally with a focused laser pulse and are compared to simulations. The gap height the bubble oscillation period increases and converges for sufficiently large gaps.
