Abstract
This study investigates bubble dynamics near a rigid boundary consisting of a protruded cone and a plane. This boundary represents irregularly shaped structures or protruding components, often occurring in practical applications. This phenomenon, under an axisymmetric configuration, is investigated through numerical simulations based on the compressible Navier–Stokes equations and the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method, which has been validated for accurately capturing bubble dynamics. Both bubble dynamics and bubble-jet formation are analyzed parameterized by the cone apex angle () and dimensionless distance () of the bubble center from the cone vertex. We identify four distinct jet regimes: thin needle jets, annular jets, boundary-attached regular jets, and boundary-divergent regular jets. Furthermore, the pressure for two regular jet configurations at the boundary demonstrates strong agreement with theoretical models. Notably, an extreme case marked by complete jet suppression is observed.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Multiphase Flow publishes analytical, numerical and experimental articles of lasting interest. The scope of the journal includes all aspects of mass, momentum and energy exchange phenomena among different phases such as occur in disperse flows, gas–liquid and liquid–liquid flows, flows in porous media, boiling, granular flows and others.
The journal publishes full papers, brief communications and conference announcements.
