- Additional information
- A systematic study of the ultrasonic processing of aluminium (EPSRC EP/K005804/1), identified the relationship between sonotrode power and cavitation intensity, measured using a novel cavitometer probe developed in collaboration with NPL. The findings of the study, together with the technique developed for measurements, are needed by industry to enable scaleup of the ultrasonic treatment process to larger fluid volumes, a current drawback of the technique. The techniques developed here are used in further EPSRC research in ‘UltraMelt#2’ (EP/R011001/1) led by Greenwich in collaboration with Brunel and Oxford Brookes universities. Article cited 59 times.
