Laser-Produced Cavitation Bubble Behavior in Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Liquid Inside a Rigid Cylinder : Numerical Study of Liquid Disc Microjet Impact Using OpenFOAM

This study employs OpenFOAM to analyze the behavior of a single laser-produced cavitation bubble in a Newtonian/non-Newtonian fluid inside a rigid cylinder. This research aimed to numerically calculate the impact of liquid disc microjet resulting from the growth and collapse of the laser-produced bubble to the cylinder wall to take advantage of the cavitation phenomenon in various industrial and medical applications, such as modeling how to remove calcification lesions in coronary arteries. In addition, by introducing the main study cases in which a single bubble with different initial conditions is produced by a laser in the center/off-center of a cylinder with different orientations relative to the horizon, filled with a stationary or moving Newtonian/Non-Newtonian liquid, the general behavior of the bubble in the stages of growth and collapse and the formation of liquid disk microjet and its impact is examined. The study demonstrates that the presence of initial velocity in water affects the amount of microjet impact proportional to the direction of gravity. Moreover, the relationship between the laser energy and the initial conditions of the bubble and the disk microjet impact on the cylinder wall is expressed.
