A NUMERICAL METHOD FOR PREDICTING THE MOTION OF A BUBBLE CLOSE TO A MOVING RIGID STRUCTURE.

There has been considerable effort put into determining the motion of a single bubble in a fluid in a variety of different situations. The boundary integral method has proved to be a convenient tool in such studies as it reduces the unbounded, three-dimensional fluid-filled domain of the governing partial differential equation to the finite, two-dimensional surface of the bubble. In this paper the author's work, which considered the motion of a bubble close to a fixed rigid structure, is extended to the case where the structure may be moving.
