Electrical discharges formed directly in liquid water include three general cases where (a)
streamer-like plasma channels form in, but do not span, the electrode gap,(b) spark …

The study of the interaction of bubbles with shock waves and ultrasound is sometimes
termed 'acoustic cavitation'. It is of importance in many biomedical applications where sound …

Bubbles in liquids, soft and squeezy objects made of gas and vapour, yet so strong as to
destroy any material and so mysterious as at times turning into tiny light bulbs, are the topic …

A laboratory filtration plant for drinking water treatment is constructed to study the conditions
for purely mechanical in situ cleaning of fouled polymeric membranes by the application of …

The secondary Bjerknes force is one of the essential mechanisms of mutual interactions
between bubbles oscillating in a sound field. The dual-frequency acoustic excitation has …

The bubbles involved in sonochemistry and other applications of cavitation oscillate
inertially. A correct estimation of the wave attenuation in such bubbly media requires a …

Cleaning and erosion of objects by ultrasound in liquids are caused by the action of acoustic
cavitation bubbles. Experiments have been performed with respect to the erosive effect of …

Numerical simulations of cavitation noise have been performed under the experimental
conditions reported by Ashokkumar et al.(2007)[26]. The results of numerical simulations …

We present a new model for bubbly cavitating flows. Based on volume-averaged equations,
a subgrid model is added to account for a bubble, or multiple bubbles, within each …

Acoustic cavitation is the main mechanism for reaction intensification in sonochemistry. This
chapter provides an overview of the dynamics, mechanisms and theories of acoustic …
