Measurement of pressure and assessment of cavitation for a 22.5-kHz intra-arterial angioplasty device [PDF]
, 1996 This study was performed to understand better the mechanisms of action of an (22.5 kHz) ultrasonic wire catheter device used to remove atheromatous plaque in diseased blood vessels (ultrasonic angioplasty).

Intensification of oxidation capacity using chloroalkanes as additives in hydrodynamic and acoustic cavitation reactors [PDF]
, 2008 The effect of the presence and absence of the chloroalkanes, dichloromethane (CH2Cl2), chloroform (CHCl3) and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) on the extent of oxidation of aqueous I- to I3- has been investigated in (a) a liquid whistle reactor (LWR ...

Ultrasonic wave propagation in cylindrical vessels and implications for ultrasonic reactor design [PDF]
, 2010 Reactors in which processes are enhanced by ultrasound are hampered by the lack of a theoretical framework on their design. Simulation results of ultrasonic wave propagation in a cylindrical geometry are presented in this work, which are then used to ...

Cavitation Scaling Experiments with Axisymmetric Bodies [PDF]
, 1992 Several experiments by Ceccio and Brennen (1991, 1989) and Kumar and Brennen (1992, 1991) have closely examined the interaction between individual cavitation bubbles and the boundary layer, as well as statistical properties of the acoustical signals ...

Natural and laser-induced cavitation in corn stems: On the mechanisms of acoustic emissions [PDF]
, 2012 Water in plant xylem is often superheated, and therefore in a meta-stable state. Under certain conditions, it may suddenly turn from the liquid to the vapor state. This cavitation process produces acoustic emissions.
