NUMERICAL MODELLING OF CAVITATION BUBBLE BEHAVIOUR AND NOISE

This paper summarises a study on the numerical analysis of cavitation bubble noise and presents the results of a numerical analysis of the pressure pulse developed during a single cavitation bubble collapse and the development of a 1/3 octave noise spectral analysis. The results of a systematic numerical study of bubble growth are presented along with an example of the calculated 1/3 octave noise spectra.
