Abstract:To investigate the hydrodynamic cavitation phenomenon in microchannel devices, the influence laws were analyzed from three aspects of geometric shapes and dimensions of flow restrictive elements, working fluids and channel roughness. The common shapes of flow restrictive elements are mainly microorifice, microventuri, microdiaphragm and micropillar. Different geometries of flow restrictive elements have different cavitating flow characteristics. The dimensional parameters of the flow restrictive elements and the scale effect caused by the size reduction play an important role in the cavitating flow patterns. The commonly used working fluids contain deionized water, ethanol, phosphatebuffered saline (PBS), refrigerant (R123), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA),microbubbles (MBs) suspension, perfluoropentane (PFC5) suspension, titania nanoparticle suspension, binary liquid mixtures, etc. Compared to water, the remaining working fluids can increase cavitation intensity to different degrees. The introduction of roughness is mainly realized by the surface roughness elements and sidewall roughness elements of the channel, and the cavitation intensity can be significantly improved compared to that of the smooth surface. Microchannel hydrodynamic cavitation devices are mainly used in energy harvesting, liquidphase exfoliation and biomedical fields. Based on the research status of microscale hydrodynamic cavitation at home and abroad in recent years, the potential research directions and application trends of hydrodynamic cavitation phenomena in microchannel devices are provided.
