Numerical Simulation Study of Factors Influencing Ultrasonic Cavitation Bubble Evolution on Rock Surfaces during Ultrasonic-Assisted Rock Breaking
With the increasing demand for deep oil and gas exploration and CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage) engineering, improving rock-crushing efficiency stands as a pivotal technology. Ultrasonic vibration-assisted drilling has emerged as a novel rock-breaking technology. The high-frequency vibrations of ultrasonic waves impact rocks, inducing resonance and accelerating their fragmentation. At the same time, ultrasonic waves generate cavitation bubbles in the liquid near rock surfaces; the expansion and collapse of these bubbles further contribute to rock damage, thereby improving crushing efficiency. Therefore, investigating the dynamics and failure characteristics of cavitation bubbles near rock surfaces under ultrasonic influence is crucial for advancing ultrasonic-assisted rock-breaking technology. This study treats the liquid as compressible flow and investigates the movement and rupture of bubbles near rock surfaces under varying ultrasonic parameters, rock properties, characteristics of the circulating medium, and other relevant factors. The findings show that ultrasonic waves induce the oscillation, translation, collapse, and rebound of bubbles near rock surfaces. Higher ultrasonic frequencies correspond to larger collapse pressures and amplitudes near surrounding rocks, as well as longer expansion times and shorter collapse durations. In addition, bubble movement and collapse lead to rock material deformation, influenced by the rheological properties of the liquid medium. The study outcomes serve as a foundation for optimizing engineering parameters in ultrasonic-assisted rock breaking and provide theoretical support for the advancement of this technology.
