In reply to the comment of Lu and An on our publication paper [Phys. Rev. E 70, 016304 (2004)], we show that the consideration of water vapor exchange at the bubble interface is essential for obtaining our results and the adiabatic model is too simple to produce the differences. Moreover, in spite of smallness of the compressional viscosity term at the collapse, the illustrated differences are reasonable due to the strong nonlinearity of the bubble dynamics at the collapse and its sensitivity to even small perturbations. We emphasize on the correctness of our calculation results and our simulation programs are now available on the web. © 2005 The American Physical Society  

This paper deals with the dynamics of rising bubbles attached to a vertical wall under different wettability conditions. Even though, bubbles rising freely in a liquid have extensively been studied, bubbles attached to a wall have not been fully understood. Therefore, in this work, rising bubbles attached to a vertical wall were numerically investigated by applying the ALE method along with adaptive mesh refinement schemes to properly resolve the bubble interface and its deformation. To consider wall wettability effects, different contact angles of 45° 90° and 105° were considered along with the case of freely rising bubbles. The problem was carried out at different Bond numbers of 0.27,... 

The influence of liquid bulk viscosity on the dynamics of a single cavitation bubble is numerically studied via Gilmore model with a new modified boundary condition at bubble interface. In order to more accurately describe the interior gas thermodynamics, a hydrochemical model is used. The numerical results for an argon bubble in water and aqueous H2SO4 show that including the liquid bulk viscosity slightly affects the bubble dynamics in collapse phase. This effect becomes significant only at high ultrasonic amplitudes and high viscosities. Moreover, the maximum pressure value inside the bubble is much more influenced than the maximum temperature. This finding lends support to results of...
