Cavitation in non-Newtonian fluids with biomedical and bioengineering applications

Cavitation in non-Newtonian fluids with biomedical and bioengineering applications

Non-Newtonian properties on bubble dynamics and cavitation are fundamentally different from those of Newtonian fluids. The most significant effect arises from the dramatic increase in viscosity of polymer solutions in an extensional flow, such as that generated about a spherical bubble during its gr...
