MODELING ACOUSTIC CAVITATION WITH BUBBLE REDISTRIBUTION

Interaction of sound field and cavitation bubble distributi on is simulated by a hybrid model. Acoustic wave propagation is described by a linearized bubbly liquid wave equation, and bubble motion by a discrete particle approach. Experimentally observed streamer structures in an acoustic resonator cell and low-frequency oscillations thereof are repr oduced.
