A new metric called maximum bubble size was implemented under the rationale that larger cavitation bubbles will collapse more intensely. The maximum cavitation bubble size over 1 ms of simulated time was calculated based on the Rayleigh–Plesset equation for each element integration point and presented as a contour map at the vessel surface for assessing with erosion observations. SNS targets are now operated with helium gas injection to reduce cavitation damage. A simulation method using a material model for the mixture of mercury and gas bubbles was recently developed and used to account for the effect of small gas bubbles on the structural response of the target vessel. This work compares the new method's results with observed cavitation damage. Maps of the calculated maximum bubble size for targets operated with and without gas injection were compared with photographs of erosion damage observed in SNS targets. The patterns in maximum bubble size maps correlated well with observations of erosion patterns in target vessels after service.

Under high-temperature conditions, an oxide layer forms that affects the deformation and erosion of the steel surface following particle impacts. Studying the interaction mechanism of oxidation and deformation (erosion) is of considerable significance. Traditional research methods primarily involve ex-situ measurements on samples post-erosion and oxidation, which cannot capture the morphological changes of the steel surface immediately following particle impact. Utilizing 3D digital holography (DH) technology, this paper develops a measurement system to investigate the surface morphological changes in steel induced by single particle impacts. We utilized this experimental system to measure the impact crater morphology of 500 μm zirconia particles impacting Q690 steel sheets. Our findings indicate that Hertzian ring cracks formation is significantly affected by heating temperature and impact angle. Notably, oxide layer peeling and erosion occurred at an impact angle of 30°. Additionally, impact crater depths at a 90° angle and impact speeds ranging from 1 to 20 m/s varied between 0.66 and 4.25 μm, with crater depths showing a correlation to the thickness of the oxide layer. Concurrently, in-situ measurements of the impact crater healing process during heating revealed that the crater formed at a 30° impact angle, which had numerous microcracks, exhibited significantly better healing compared to the crater formed at a 90° impact angle. The thickening process of the oxide layer were also analyzed, leading to the derivation of the oxide layer growth kinetic equation based on the measurement data: <span><math><mrow><msubsup><mi>K</mi><mi>p</mi><mn>0</mn></msubsup><mo>=</mo><mn>2.39</mn><mo>×</mo><msup><mn>10</mn><mrow><mo>−</mo><mn>8</mn></mrow></msup><mspace></mspace><mi>exp</mi><mrow><mo>(</mo><mrow><mo>−</mo><mn>17401</mn><mo>/</mo><mi>R</mi><mi>T</mi></mrow><mo>)</mo></mrow></mrow></math></span>.
