- Tissue damage due to cavitation collapse-induced shockwaves is responsible for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), considered a major contributor to the neural loss in the injured brain and serious neurological and psychiatric impairments, including memory loss, inability to concentrate, speech problems, motor and sensory deficits and behavioural changes. This is the first paper demonstrating how cavitation forms and collapses during the high-speed impact of a liquid droplet onto surfaces. The study, was presented in a keynote lecture in the TBI workshop funded by the Office of Naval Research (US) and paved the way to follow-up simulation of cavitation in soft materials.
