Bubble Dynamics and Cavitation

Plesset, M S, Prosperetti, A·1977·Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics

Abstract

The first analysis of a problem in cavitation and bubble dynamics was made by Rayleigh (1917), who solved the problem of the collapse of an empty cavity in a large mass of liquid. Rayleigh also considered in this same paper the problem of a gas-filled cavity under the assumption that the gas undergoes isothermal com­ pression. His interest in these problems presumably arose from concern with cavitation and cavitation damage. With neglect of surface tension and liquid viscosity and with the assumption of liquid incompressibility, Rayleigh showed from the momentum equation that the bubble boundary R(t) obeyed the relation RR+W<)2 = p(R)oo, p (1.1)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
