Défauts des matériaux. Protection des matériaux Résumé : An understanding of the fundamental mechanisms involved in the interaction between bubbles and structures is of importance for many applications involving cavitation erosion. Generally, the final stage of bubble collapse is associated with the formation of a high-speed reentrant liquid jet directed toward the solid surface. Local forces associated with the collapse of such bubbles can be very high and can exert significant loads on the materials. This formation and impact of liquid jet is an area of intense research. Under some conditions, the presence of gravity and other nearby boundaries and free surfaces alters the jet direction and need to be understood, especially that in the laboratory, small scale tests in finite containers have these effects inherently present. In this work, experiments and numerical simulations of the interaction between a vertical wall and a bubble are carried out using Dynaflow's three-dimensional code, 3DYNAFS-BEM, which models the unsteady dynamics of a liquid flow including the presence of highly nonlinear time evolving gas-liquid interfaces. The numerical predictions were validated using scaled experiments carried out using spark generated bubbles. These spark bubble tests produced high fidelity test data that properly scale the fluid dynamics as long as the geometric nondimensional parameters, gravity and time are properly scaled. The use of a high speed camera allowing framing rates as high as 50,000 frames per second to photograph the bubbles produced high quality observations of bubble dynamics including clear visualizations of the reentrant jet formation inside the bubble. Such observations were very useful in developing and validating the numerical models. The cases studied showed very good correlation between the numerical simulations and the experimental observations and allowed development of predictive rules for the re-entrant jet characteristics, including jet angle, jet speed, and various geometric characteristics of the jet.
