Project description
New computational tools to leverage shockwave-induced bubbles and their effects on soft matter
Ultrasound cavitation, the generation of tiny cavities or bubbles induced by ultrasonic shockwaves, is used in several medical applications. However, the processes of interaction among the shockwaves, bubbles and soft matter are not well understood and can be harmful. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the UCOM project will create a training network to explore these processes on the microscale and macroscale using a combined experimental and computational approach. The experimentally validated computational tools will pave the way for innovations with applications not only to medicine but also to surface cleaning, food processing and more.
