Fundamentals of Single Cavitation Bubble Dynamics

Xiaoyu Wang received his doctor’s degree from North China Electric Power University in June 2024. He focuses his research interests on cavitation and bubble dynamics, concentrating on experimental research, theoretical analysis, and numerical simulation of high-speed phenomena such as bubble oscillation, jets, and shock waves. He has participated in the publication of 17 journal papers in these fields, bubble resonance characteristics, which discovered the jet deflection phenomena and the formation mechanism of the shock waves.

Yufei Wang is currently a masters degree candidate in North China Electric Power University. She mainly engages in research on the cavitation bubble morphology evolution near various types of walls and bubble collapse dynamics. She has participated in the publication of 2 journal papers in these fields, which investigated the bubble morphology evolution and the non-spherical behaviors of a cavitation bubble.

Qi Liang is currently a doctoral candidate in North China Electric Power University. She mainly focuses on research on the cavitation bubble collapse dynamics and the collapse jet characteristics. She has published 3 journal papers in these fields, investigating the strength and directional deflection properties of jet near the particle and the wall.

Yuning Zhang is currently a professor in North China Electric Power University. He primarily focuses on the research in cavitation and bubble dynamics. He has published 2 monographs in Springer Press and over 90 papers (10 highly cited papers and 1 hot paper) in journals such as Nature Communications, Physics of Fluids, and Energy. He was ranked by Stanford University as one of the “top 2% of scientists in the world by 2023”. In addition, he is an Associate Editor of IET Renewable Power Generation and an Editorial Board Member of 6 international/national journals such as Journal of Hydrodynamics. He also serves as Chairman of International Cavitation Forum 2016, member of organizing committee of WIMRC International Symposium of Cavitation (UK) and many other international conferences, and has given six invited talks on international conferences. He has received many awards from the society of energy and electric power in China.
