Influences of inter-bubble interactions on ultrasonic cavitation dynamics and subharmonic emissions in viscoelastic media with nonlinear elasticity.

ABSTRACT: Ultrasonic cavitation in viscoelastic media is a physical process that features in a variety of chemical reactions, food processing, and biomedical applications due to a range of cavitation-associated physical, chemical, and biological effects. The cavitation effects are essentially caused by the dynamic behaviors of oscillating bubbles, which are strongly influenced by the complex and various inter-bubble interactions. However, how cavitation bubbles interact with each other and these interactions subsequently influence the ultrasonic cavitation dynamics and acoustic emissions in viscoelastic materials still remain poorly understood. This research, by incorporating both the interactions between bubbles and the nonlinear elasticity of viscoelastic medium, first modeled and numerically inve
