Simulation, Experiments, and Modeling of Cloud Cavitation with Application to Burst Wave Lithotripsy

<p>Modeling, numerical simulations, and experiments are used to investigate the dynamics of cavitation bubble clouds induced by strong ultrasound waves.</p> <p>A major application of this work is burst wave lithotripsy (BWL), recently proposed method of lithotripsy that uses pul...
