Abstract
En 中文
The understanding of vapor bubble generation in a soft tissue near a fiber-optic tip has in the past required two-dimensional (2D) hydrodynamic simulations. For 1D spherical bubble expansions a simplified and useful Rayleigh-type model can be applied. For 2D bubble evolution, such a model has not been developed. In this work we develop a Rayleigh-type model for 2D bubble expansion that is much faster and simpler than 2D hydrodynamic simulations and can be applied toward the design and understanding of fiber-based medical therapies. The model is based on a flow potential representation of the hydrodynamic motion and is described by a Laplace equation with a moving boundary condition at the bubble surface. In order for the Rayleigh-type 2D model to approximate bubble evolution in soft tissue, we include viscosity and surface tension in the fluid description. We show that the 1D Rayleigh equation is a special case of our model. The Laplace equation is solved for each time step by a finite-element solver using a fast triangular unstructured mesh generator. Our simulations include features of bubble evolution as seen in experiments and are in good agreement with 2D hydrodynamic simulations. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
