Study on shock wave-induced cavitation bubbles dissolution process |
Experimental data and simulation result for the dissolution of cavitation bubbles generated during clinical ESWT. (a) The experimental bubble dissolution curve and the simulation results. The experimental data could be best fitted with the selected parameter sets: the mean diameter of bubbles R 0 = 12.5 µm, the standard deviation of bubbles distribution SD = 7 µm, and the diffusion constant D A = 3 × 10–8 m2/s. (b) The bubble size distribution. |
