This effect has received increasing attention in biomedical supersonics. Based on the lattice Boltzmann method, a multiple-relaxation-time Shan–Chen model is built to study the cavitation bubble collapse. Using this model, the cavitation phenomena induced by density perturbation are simulated to obtain the coexistence densities at certain temperature and to demonstrate the Young–Laplace equation. Then, the cavitation bubble collapse near a curved rigid wall and the consequent high-speed jet towards the wall are simulated. Moreover, the influences of initial pressure difference and bubble-wall distance on the cavitation bubble collapse are investigated.展开更多

In this study, we focused on the decomposition phenomena of vaporized hydrogen peroxide on wall surfaces in indoor environment and discussed a wall surface decomposition model for vaporized hydrogen peroxide using computational fluid dynamics to simulate the concentration distributions of vaporized hydrogen peroxide. A major drawback to using numerical simulations is the lack of sufficient data on boundary conditions for various types of building materials and hence. We also conducted the fundamental chamber experiment to identify the model parameters of wall surface decomposition model for targeting five types of building materials.展开更多
