Dynamic-seal-cavitation-study: v1.0.0 — Initial Release: Dynamic Seal Cavitation Mitigation Platform

Release Overview

We are pleased to announce the official v1.0.0 release of dynamic-seal-cavitation-study. This repository provides a multi-physics computational framework, formulation database, and stochastic verification pipeline designed to eliminate dynamic seal erosion caused by micro-jet cavitation shockwaves ($1.5\text{ GPa}$) in high-speed rotary fluid systems.

What's Included in v1.0.0

1. Multi-Physics Simulation Engine (simulations/)

• rheometer_analysis.py: Automated processor for rotary rheometer datasets. Evaluates First Normal Stress Difference ($N_1$) lift cushions and checks high-shear viscosity against operational boundaries.
• wave_fdtd_2d.py: 2D spatial viscoelastic Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) wave propagation solver modeling micro-jet impact shockwave attenuation across elastomeric matrix domains.
• monte_carlo_g32.py: $N = 1,000$ stochastic iteration simulator for ASTM G32 cavitation testing, modeling micro-balance weighing noise ($\sigma = \pm 0.05\text{ mg}$) and thermal/power drift ($\sigma = \pm 3.5%$).
• dynamic_seal_cavitation.ipynb: Google Colab / Jupyter Notebook combining all simulation modules into an interactive, visual workflow.
• __init__.py: Package initialization file enabling clean modular Python imports.

2. Chemical Formulations & Compounding (formulations/)

• AC-FLUID-OPT-500ML.md: Complete $500\text{ mL}$ batch sheet, weighing schedule, and mixing protocol for the viscoelastic fluid additive package.
• TRACK1_FKM_COMPOUND.md: Open two-roll mill recipe and press/post-curing schedule for $10\text{ PHR}$ surface-treated micro-filled (h-BN/PTFE) FKM rubber.

3. Verification & Test Protocols (docs/)

• executive_summary.md: Comprehensive failure physics breakdown and technical comparison between Track 1 (Cost-Controlled Dual Strategy) and Track 2 (Supramolecular Vitrimers).
• astm_g32_test_plan.md: 240-minute step-by-step physical laboratory testing protocol for $20\text{ kHz}$ ultrasonic cavitation horns per ASTM G32 (Indirect Method).

4. Data Templates & Samples (data/)

• logging_sheet_template.csv: Structured CSV logging sheet for interval mass loss recording during bench testing.
• sample_rheometer_export.csv: Pre-formatted sample output from rotary rheometer instruments.

Key Validation Results

• Peak Shock Wave Mitigation: Track 1 dual-strategy reduces local micro-jet collapse pressures from $1.500\text{ GPa}$ down to $0.544\text{ GPa}$ ($>63%$ reduction).
• Damage Index ($D$): Dropped from $13.8063$ (Baseline Failure) to $D = 0.0000$ (Full Qualification).
• Monte Carlo Stochastic Confidence: $100.0%$ pass probability under real-world measurement noise across $1,000$ virtual test cycles.
• Cost Efficiency: Delivers full seal protection with an incremental seal cost of $+$0.25\text{--}$0.80$ and fluid cost of $+$0.08\text{--}$0.15/\text{L}$ with zero re-tooling requirements.
