Acoustic energy as a form of physical energy has drawn the interests of both industry and
scientific communities for its potential use as a food processing and preservation tool …

This paper reviews the current state of knowledge of several classes of acoustic streaming.
Acoustic streaming is classified based on the different mechanisms by which it is generated …

When bubbles expand and collapse close to boundaries, a shear flow is generated which is
able to remove particles from the surface, thus locally cleaning it. Here the authors …

A number of acoustic and fluid-dynamic phenomena appear in ultrasonic cleaning baths
and contribute to physical cleaning of immersed surfaces. Propagation and repeated …

This article studies the effect of 47kHz ultrasonic (US) waves on polymeric membranes
immersed in an aqueous bath. The membranes under study are made from three different …

Acoustic cavitation is extensively used for cleaning purposes. However, little is known about
the fundamental aspects of the cleaning process. Our previous electrochemical data …

Ultrasound has been a useful tool in a wide range of commercial applications in the fields of
chemistry, physics, biology, medicine, engineering and waste treatment 71-21 and …

The dynamic actions of cavitation bubbles in ultrasonic fields can clean surfaces. Gas and
vapor cavitation bubbles exhibit different dynamic behaviors in ultrasonic fields, yet little …

The effects of application of ultrasonic waves to recombined milk emulsions (3.5% fat, 7%
total solids) and raw milk on fat destabilization and creaming were examined. Coarse and …

Microcentrifugation constitutes an important part of the microfluidic toolkit in a similar way
that centrifugation is crucial to many macroscopic procedures, given that micromixing …
