“Differences between aluminum and gold under cavitation erosion”
Abstract: Cavitation is a phenomenon where pressure drop causes formation of cavities in liquid. When these cavities are close to surface, they can collapse in a process called inertial cavitation and can produce a shock wave, which can cause damage to the surface. Gold is known to endure this damage better than aluminum and in my study I used Molecular Dynamics to compare this damage between these elements. I simulated multiple inertial cavitation processes and compared the surfaces after and during this to find how these two materials differ.
