Micro-jet dynamics during shock wave interaction with wall-proximal bubbles: Effects of an incident impinging vs glancing shock wave

Shock wave–bubble interaction (SBI) in the liquid medium is a fundamental multiphase flow problem that attracts the interest of researchers, yet the effects of propagation direction of the incident shock wave on wall-proximal bubble collapse and micro-jet dynamics remain to be th...

Viscoelastic effect on the dynamics of high-speed needle jets generated during bubble collapse in proximity to a solid boundary

When a cavitation bubble collapses near a solid boundary within a small stand-off distance, a needle jet could be generated and directed toward the solid wall in Newtonian fluids. However, cavitation bubbles in viscoelastic fluids also widely exist, including in interstitial flui...
