Abstract
Collapse of a weakly-spherical cavitation bubble in acetone and tetradecane is studied. The bubble radius is 500 μm, the temperature and pressure of the liquid are 293 K and 15 bar in the case of acetone and 663 K and 50 bar in the case of tetradecane. A hydrodynamic model is used in which the compressibility of the liquid, the nonstationary thermal conduction of the vapor and the liquid, and nonequilibrium heat and mass transfer on the bubble surface, as well as imperfection of the vapor, are considered. Realistic wide-range equations of state are used. It has been found that converging shock waves appear in the bubbles during its collapses in acetone and tetradecane. The maximum values of the thermodynamic parameters are comparable. A comparison of the evolution of the bubble sphericity perturbation and motion of the shock wave in the bubble allows suggesting that tetradecane is a more favorable medium for the realization of a near-spherical cumulation in a bubble than acetone.
