Abstract

The introduction of the full paper outlines our research, which is explained in sections 1, and 2. Section 1 is entitled calculation method; subsection 1. 1 is entitled geometrical configuration and its mesh; subsection 1.2 is entitled boundary conditions and initial conditions; subsection 1.3 is entitled numerical simulation model; subsection 1.3. 1 is entitled gas-liquid two-phase flow model; subsection 1.3.2 is entitled k-ε turbulence model. Section 2 is entitled verification of calculation method; its core consists of: (1) we did pool experiments on the underwater launching of a model missile, during which we photographed the pulsant of a bubble with a high-speed camera and monitored the pressure wave at the exit of launching tube; (2) we compare our simulation results with experimental results; the comparison results indicate preliminarily that the formation, expansion and contraction of the bubble simulated with our method agree qualitatively with those obtained through experiments.
