Figure 9. Stabilized Nuclei Simulation.

Figure 9

(A) Example radius vs. time curves for a 1.94 nm initial bubble subjected to a single cycle negative pressure waveform at 20°C. (B) Simulated maximum bubble radius at 10°C–90°C using the values for surface tension and viscosity shown in Table 1 showing a significant decrease in the simulated cavitation threshold, pSIM, with increasing temperature. (C) Example radius vs. time curves at 10°C–90°C for pressures directly above pSIM. (D) Initial bubble size at which pSIM matched pHIT increased for 10°C–90°C.
