Ultrasonic liquid metal processing: The essential role of cavitation bubbles in controlling acoustic streaming

The acoustic streaming behaviour below an ultrasonic sonotrode in water was predicted by numerical simulation and validated by experimental studies. The flow was calculated by solving the transient Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations with a source term representing ultrasonic excitation implem...
