- It is well known that cavitation damage derives from the shockwave emitted by collapsing bubbles close to solid surfaces. However, the detailed mechanism and the accurate prediction of pressure and temperature peaks are not yet available. This paper is significant because the proposed Diffuse Interface modelling allows to capture the complete dynamics of bubble collapse and shock propagation, showing the crucial importance of the complex phase change to and from supercritical conditions. This research was a key outcome of ERC Advanced Grant 339446, onto which the lead author was employed.
