Molecular Dynamics Analysis of Collapse Process of Cavitation Bubble in LJ Liquid

Abstract

Because the collapse of the cavitation bubble occurs in microscale for the very short period of time, the experimental observation of its process is limited. Nature of the collapse of the cavitation bubble has not been understood completely. In present study, the collapse phenomena of the cavitation bubbles in Lennard-Jones liquid phase are simulated by molecular dynamics (MD) method under various conditions. We have made effective visualization of the time series data of the simulated collapse process.
