The influences of the acoustic impedance and shock strength on the jet formation in shock-heavy gas bubble interaction are numerically studied in this work. The process of a shock interacting with a krypton or a SF6 bubble is studied by the numerical method VAS2D. As a validation, the experiments of a SF6 bubble accelerated by a planar shock were performed. The results indicate that, due to the mismatch of acoustic impedance, the way of jet formation in heavy gas bubble with different species is diversified under the same initial condition. With respect to the same bubble, the manner of jet formation is also distinctly different under different shock strengths. The disparities of the acoustic impedance result in different effects of shock focusing in the bubble, and different behaviors of shock wave inside and outside the bubble. The analyses of the wave pattern and the pressure variation indicate that the jet formation is closely associated with the pressure perturbation. Moreover, the analy- sis of the vorticity deposition, and comparisons of circulation and baroclinic torque show that the baroclinic vorticity also contributes to the jet formation. It is concluded that the pres- sure perturbation and baroclinic vorticity deposition are the two dominant factors for the jet formation in shock-heavy gas bubble interaction.
We present computational results on the evolution of the shock-accelerated heavy bubbles surrounded by nitrogen with the Atwood number At = 0.497–0.677 and the emphasis is on the jet phenomenon caused by the shock focusing. The multi-fluid Eulerian equation is solved by a finite volume method based on MUSCL-Hancock approach. Based on the numerical schlieren and the distributions of density and pressure, it is found that there are three typical jet structures(outward jet, no jet, inward jet) for different combinations of gas mixture inside the bubble which determine the position of shock focusing relative to the downstream pole of the heavy bubble(upstream of the pole, at the pole, downstream the pole). Compared with the inward jet, the velocity of outward jet is obviously larger. As At increases, the moment of jet formation is postponed, and the maximal values and magnifications of pressure and density increase distinctly. Therefore, the energy convergence effects are heavily enhanced with the increase of bubble gas density.
