Abstract

The work presents a numerical simulation of the process of growth and collapse of a vapor bubble that occurs at the tip of an optical fiber (laser heating element) immersed in water. The constructed numerical solutions allow us to find the temperature field distribution in a superheated liquid when a bubble appears, and to obtain the values of the velocity and temperature of the cavitation jet that occurs when the bubble collapses.
