Cavitation Modelling - Growth of bubble and shockwave emission during collapse

pakanatiakash · January 8, 2015, 18:52

Hullo

I have had some experience before in OpenFOAM where I was performing melting simulations. Now I have moved on to an other project to study cavitation bubble growth and collapse and the shockwave emission due to this. A bit of investigation lead me to cavitatingFoam solver but I am not sure if it is a good solver to study shockwave emissions due to bubble collapse. Is there any other solver which is remotely capable of doing this? If not what are the options I have to study the phenomena using OpenFOAM?

Cheers!

Hullo

Thank you for the link. But somehow I am not able to adapt the solver the way they have instructed in the manual. Partially because of my limited and amateur experience in OpenFOAM. Do you have the complete adapted solver?

Regards
Akash
