A book like this has many roots. It began many years ago when, as a young postdoctoral fellow at the California Institute of Technology, I was asked to prepare a series of lectures on cavitation for a graduate course cum sem- inar series. It was truly a baptism by fire, for the audience included three of the great names in cavitation research, Milton Plesset, Allan Acosta, and Theodore Wu, none of whom readily accepted superficial explanations. For that, I am immensely grateful. The course and I survived, and it evolved into one part of a graduate program in multiphase flows. There are many people to whom I owe a debt of gratitude for the roles they played in making this book possible. It was my great good fortune to have known and studied with six outstanding scholars, Les Woods, George Gadd, Milton Plesset, Allan Acosta, Ted Wu, and Rolf Sabersky. I benefited im- mensely from their scholarship and their friendship. I also owe much to my many colleagues in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers whose in- sights fill many of the pages of this monograph. The support of my research program by the Office of Naval Research is also greatly appreciated. And, of course, I feel honored to have worked with an outstanding group of graduate students at Caltech, including Sheung-Lip Ng, Kiam Oey, David Braisted, Luca d’Agostino, Steven Ceccio, Sanjay Kumar, Douglas Hart, Yan Kuhn de Chizelle, Beth McKenney, Zhenhuan Liu, Yi-Chun Wang, and Garrett Reisman, all of whom studied aspects of cavitating flows. The book is dedicated to Doreen, my companion and friend of over thirty years, who tolerated the obsession and the late nights that seemed necessary to bring it to completion. To her I owe more than I can tell. Pasadena, Calif. C.E.B.

  • (2020) Role of All Jet Drops in Mass Transfer from Bursting Bubbles
    PHYSICAL REVIEW FLUIDS 5, 033605 (2020) Role of all jet drops in mass transfer from bursting bubbles Alexis Berny,1,2 Luc Deike ,2,3 Thomas Séon,1 and Stéphane Popinet 1 1Sorbonne Université, CNRS, UMR 7190, Institut Jean le Rond ࢚’Alembert, F-75005 Paris, France 2Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544, USA 3Princeton Environmental Institute, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544, USA (Received 12 September 2019; accepted 13 February 2020; published 10 March 2020) When a bubble bursts at the surface of a liquid, it creates a jet that may break up and produce jet droplets. This phenomenon has motivated numerous studies due to its multiple applications, from bubbles in a glass of champagne to ocean/atmosphere interactions. We simulate the bursting of a single bubble by direct numerical simulations of the axisymmetric two-phase liquid-gas Navier-Stokes equations. We describe the number, size, and velocity of all the ejected droplets, for a wide range of control parameters, defined as nondimensional numbers, the Laplace number which compares capillary and viscous forces and the Bond number which compares gravity and capillarity. The total vertical momentum of the ejected droplets is shown to follow a simple scaling relationship with a primary dependency on the Laplace number. Through a simple evaporation model, coupled with the dynamics obtained numerically, it is shown that all the jet droplets (up to 14) produced by the bursting event must be taken into account as they all contribute to the total amount of evaporated water. A simple scaling relationship is obtained for the total amount of evaporated water as a function of the bubble size and fluid properties.

Total internal refection occurs at the interface of a bubble, where light travels from the higher refractive index material outside a bubble to the lower index material inside a bubble at appropriate angles of incidence, which can lead to a phase shift in the refected light. Linearly polarized skylight can be converted to elliptically polarized light with efciency up to 53% by single scattering from the water-air interface. Total internal refection from air bubble in water is one of the few sources of elliptical polarization in the natural world.

  • Chapter 5 Dimensional Analysis and Similarity
    Chapter 5 Dimensional Analysis and Similarity Motivation. In this chapter we discuss the planning, presentation, and interpretation of experimental data. We shall try to convince you that such data are best presented in dimensionless form. Experiments which might result in tables of output, or even mul- tiple volumes of tables, might be reduced to a single set of curves—or even a single curve—when suitably nondimensionalized. The technique for doing this is dimensional analysis. Chapter 3 presented gross control-volume balances of mass, momentum, and en- ergy which led to estimates of global parameters: mass flow, force, torque, total heat transfer. Chapter 4 presented infinitesimal balances which led to the basic partial dif- ferential equations of fluid flow and some particular solutions. These two chapters cov- ered analytical techniques, which are limited to fairly simple geometries and well- defined boundary conditions. Probably one-third of fluid-flow problems can be attacked in this analytical or theoretical manner. The other two-thirds of all fluid problems are too complex, both geometrically and physically, to be solved analytically. They must be tested by experiment. Their behav- ior is reported as experimental data. Such data are much more useful if they are ex- pressed in compact, economic form. Graphs are especially useful, since tabulated data cannot be absorbed, nor can the trends and rates of change be observed, by most en- gineering eyes. These are the motivations for dimensional analysis. The technique is traditional in fluid mechanics and is useful in all engineering and physical sciences, with notable uses also seen in the biological and social sciences.

  • Cavitation in Valves
    VM‐CAV/WP White Paper Cavitation in Valves Table of Contents Introduction. 2 Cavitation Analysis. 2 Cavitation Data. 3 Valve Coefficient Data. 4 Example Application. .. 5 Conclusion & Recommendations . 5 References. 6 Val‐Matic Valve & Mfg. Corp. • www.valmatic.com • [email protected] • PH: 630‐941‐7600 Copyright © 2018 Val‐Matic Valve & Mfg. Corp. Cavitation in Valves INTRODUCTION Cavitation can occur in valves when used in throttling or modulating service. Cavitation is the sudden vaporization and violent condensation of a liquid downstream of the valve due to localized low pressure zones. When flow passes through a throttled valve, a localized low pressure zone forms immediately downstream of the valve. If the localized pressure falls below the vapor pressure of the fluid, the liquid vaporizes (boils) and forms a vapor pocket. As the vapor bubbles flow downstream, the pressure recovers, and the bubbles violently implode causing a popping or rumbling sound similar to tumbling rocks in a pipe. The sound of cavitation in a pipeline is unmistakable. The condensation of the bubbles not only produces a ringing sound, but also creates localized stresses in the pipe walls and valve body that can cause severe pitting. FIGURE 1. Cavitation Cavitation is a common occurrence in shutoff valves during the last few degrees of closure when the supply pressure is greater than about 100 psig. Valves can withstand limited durations of cavitation, but when the valve must be throttled or modulated in cavitating conditions for long periods of time, the life of the valve can be drastically reduced. Therefore, an analysis of flow conditions is needed when a valve is used for flow or pressure control.

  • Control Valve Sizing Theory, Cavitation, Flashing Noise, Flashing and Cavitation Valve Pressure Recovery Factor
    Control Valve Sizing Theory, Cavitation, Flashing Noise, Flashing and Cavitation Valve Pressure Recovery Factor When a fluid passes through the valve orifice there is a marked increase in velocity. Velocity reaches a maximum and pressure a minimum at the smallest sectional flow area just downstream of the orifice opening. This point of maximum velocity is called the Vena Contracta. Downstream of the Vena Contracta the fluid velocity decelerates and the pressure increases of recovers. The more stream lined valve body designs like butterfly and ball valves exhibit a high degree of pressure recovery where as Globe style valves exhibit a lower degree of pressure recovery because of the Globe geometry the velocity is lower through the vena Contracta. The Valve Pressure Recovery Factor is used to quantify this maximum velocity at the vena Contracta and is derived by testing and published by control valve manufacturers. The Higher the Valve Pressure Recovery Factor number the lower the downstream recovery, so globe style valves have high recovery factors. ISA uses FL to represent the Valve Recovery Factor is valve sizing equations. Flow Through a restriction • As fluid flows through a restriction, the Restriction Vena Contracta fluid’s velocity increases. Flow • The Bernoulli Principle P1 P2 states that as the velocity of a fluid or gas increases, its pressure decreases. Velocity Profile • The Vena Contracta is the point of smallest flow area, highest velocity, and Pressure Profile lowest pressure. Terminology Vapor Pressure Pv The vapor pressure of a fluid is the pressure at which the fluid is in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed state.

ISSN 0973-1768 Volume 13, Number 7 (2017), pp. 3403-3432 © Research India Publications http://www.ripublication.com Effect of Viscous Dissipation on Slip Boundary Layer Flow of Non-Newtonian Fluid over a Flat Plate with Convective Thermal Boundary Condition Shashidar Reddy Borra Department of Mathematics and Humanities, Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Technology, Gandipet, R.R.District-500075, Telangana, India. Abstract The purpose of this paper is to investigate the magnetic effects of a steady, two dimensional boundary layer flow of an incompressible non-Newtonian power-law fluid over a flat plate with convective thermal and slip boundary conditions by considering the viscous dissipation. The resulting governing non-linear partial differential equations are transformed into non linear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation. The momentum equation is first linearized by using Quasi-linearization technique. The set of ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by using implicit finite difference scheme along with the Thomas algorithm. The solution is found to be dependent on six governing parameters including Knudsen number Knx, heat transfer parameter , magnetic field parameter M, power-law fluid index n, Eckert number Ec and Prandtl number Pr. The effects of these parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles are discussed. The special interest are the effects of the Knudsen number Knx, heat transfer parameter and Eckert number Ec on the skin friction f )0( , temperature at the wall )0( and the rate of heat transfer )0( . The numerical results are tabulated for , and )0( . Keywords: Magnetic field parameter, Knudsen number, Heat transfer parameter, Prandtl number, Viscous Dissipation and Non-Newtonian fluid.

Anderson Building, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40506, USA Received 10 July 2006; accepted 28 July 2006 Abstract A Monte Carlo ray tracing scheme is used to investigate the propagation of an incident collimated beam of polarized light in liquid foams. Cellular structures like foam are expected to change the polarization characteristics due to multiple scattering events, where such changes can be used to monitor foam dynamics. A statistical model utilizing some of the recent developments in foam physics is coupled with a vector Monte Carlo scheme to compute the depolarization ratios via Stokes–Mueller formalism. For the simulations, the incident Stokes vector corresponding to horizontal linear polarization and right circular polarization are considered. It is observed that bubble size and the polydispersity parameter have a significant effect on the depolarization ratios. This is partially owing to the number of total internal reflection events in the Plateau borders. The results are discussed in terms of applicability of polarized light as a diagnostic tool for monitoring foams. r 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
