ABSTRACT

Normally, the physics explained previously is part of the multiphase flow problems containing large interfaces. To solve the governing equations of motion regarding such physics, there are a number of different approaches. If these equations are in their general form (i.e., the full NavierStokes), they do not have any closed form solutions, thus computational fluid dynamics needs to be used. To obtain closed form solutions, these equations must be simplified, leading to exact analytical solutions. In this work, however, an approximate analytical series solution for acoustic cavitationbubble dynamics was derived from the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and from a specific simplified form of the Navier-Stokes equations-Rayleigh-Plesset.
