Abstract: | A level-set (LS) method is presented for computation of ultrasound-driven bubble motion including the effect of liquid and vapor compressibility as well as the effect of liquid–vapor phase change. The semi-implicit pressure correction formulation is implemented into the LS method to avoid the serous time-step restriction in low Mach number (or near incompressible) flows. The numerical results for one-dimensional compressible flows and spherical bubble motion in a periodic acoustic field show good agreement with the analytical solutions. The effects of phase change and ambient temperature on the ultrasound-driven bubble motion are quantified. |
