摘要:Bubble pulsation is known to occur as a result of high-voltage discharge in water. Due to advantages such as long duration and significant bubble pulsation production, this technique is widely used in industrial production. Bubble pulsation is directly reflected by the pulsation efficiency, which is mainly embodied in the transformation efficiency from the high-voltage discharge energy to the bubble expansion energy, as well as the residual rate of bubble pulsation energy. In this study, high-voltage discharge was used in water to form pulsating bubbles. The vertical displacement of water was restricted by the experimental equipment, so horizontal displacement was mainly generated. Therefore, any influence caused by the ascending motion of the bubbles could be effectively ignored. Consequently, the bubble pulsation process could be measured at stable hydraulic pressure. The pressure, bubble pulsation period and pulsation times generated by bubble expansion were measured in our experiments. The transient voltage and current were also measured. The relationship between bubble pulsation efficiency with discharge voltage and hydrostatic pressure was analyzed by combining the experimental results with results from simulations of bubble pulsation expansion.
