- This article is an output of EPSRC EP/K00588X/1, a collaboration between Greenwich and Brunel universities. Experiments studying the behaviour of gas cavitation in different transparent liquids subjected to ultrasonic vibrations revealed for the first time unexpected variations in behaviour, ranging from closed bubble cluster clouds to dispersed microbubbles. Mathematical modelling and software developed in Greenwich enabled a realistic simulation of this multiscale (in time and space) stochastic process. This led tto improved the sonication efficiency of aluminium melts for degassing and grain refinement. The research led onto to further EPSRC funding (EP/R011001/1) continuing this research.
