Abstract
Considering such factors as liquid viscosity, surface tension, liquid compressibility and turbulence, the dynamical behaviors of cavitation bubble in orifice plate hydrodynamic cavitation reactor are numerically investigated regarding water as work medium. Detailed analysis is conducted to understand the effects of turbulence, initial radius of cavitation bubble, downstream recovery pressure of the orifice plate, pipe diameter and orifice to pipe diameter ratio on the cavitation bubble dynamics and the pressure pulse caused by rapid shrinkage of cavitation bubble. Some new phenomena such as second growth of cavitation bubble radius are discovered. The achievements obtained in this work may provide theoretical guidance and technical support for the optimization design of hydrodynamic cavitation reactor and practical application of hydrodynamic cavitation technology.
