| Summary: | Extreme environmental changes caused by the cavitation bubble collapse, such as high pressure, high temperature and the microjet, will cause pyrolysis reaction at the gas and liquid interface inside the bubble. Self-excited pulsed cavitation jet has an instantaneous strong pulse pressure, which leads to local hot spots surrounding the cavitation bubbles. The generation of strong oxidizing free radicals promotes easy ozone conversion into oxygen. Numerical simulations were conducted for ozone decomposition by cavitation jet. Three groups of different collision angles were applied to compare and analyze the ozone degradation reaction. Results showed that the collision angle has a certain influence on the chemical reaction intensity, the degradation of ozone, and oxygen production. At the collision angle of 180°, the chemical reaction was the most violent, with ozone degradation and oxygen production at the highest level, followed by 120° and lowest at 90°.
