On a Further Simulation of Shock-Bubble Interactions

This paper presents a numerical study of the shock-bubble interaction of a compressible two-phase flows. The investigations such flows are performed using an inviscid one-fluid solver in the presence of shock wave and strong rarefaction waves similar to cavitation. The code is composed by three conservation laws for mixture variables, namely mass, momentum and total energy along with supplementary transport equation for the volume fraction of the gas phase. Simulation results are carried out on a shock-bubble interaction case leading to the cavity collapse. The results of the numerical simulation exhibit a good agreement with numerical results presented by other researchers.
