Study of laser cavitation process using numerical simulation

Key Points

• The research aims to simulate the cavitation process occurring at the tip of an optical fiber in water.
• Conducted numerical simulations of vapor bubble dynamics at the optical fiber tip.
• Analyzed temperature field distribution in the superheated liquid during bubble formation and collapse.
• Calculated velocities and temperatures of the cavitation jet resulting from bubble collapse.
• Identified temperature field distributions when vapor bubbles appear.
• Quantified velocity and temperature data of the cavitation jet during bubble collapse.
