Numerical model of an ultrasonically induced cavitation reactor and application to heavy oil processing

This study describes a numerical approach to model ultrasonically induced cavitation (UIC) reactors. UIC forms vapour-filled cavities in a liquid medium due to an applied acoustic field and their eventual collapse. UIC reactors are characterized by the presence of a vibrating probe that generates pr...
