Abstract
The damping mechanisms play an important role in the behavior of vapor bubbles. In the present paper, effects of mass transfer on the damping mechanisms of oscillating vapor bubbles in liquids are investigated within a wide range of parameter zone (e.g. in terms of frequency and bubble Péclet number). Results of the vapor bubbles are also compared with those of the gas bubbles. Our findings reveal that the damping mechanisms of vapor bubbles are significantly affected by the mass transfer especially in the regions with small and medium bubble Péclet number. Comparing with the gas bubbles, the contributions of the mass-transfer damping mechanism for the vapor bubble case are quite significant, being the dominant damping mechanism in a wide region.
