- First major output from the EPSRC-funded project UltraMelt2. For first time, proper quantification coupling of the acoustic pressure field with the size of the cavitation bubbles is achieved within a sonicated liquid metal environment. The developed numerical model (Open Access) was successfully validated by quantitative advanced experimental studies to accurately predict the pressure field in a liquid metal volume across the entire fluid domain, thereby providing a useful tool for optimizing ultrasonic melt treatment (USMT). This is of importance as USMT can be better controlled and efficiently used, facilitating implementation of this type of processing at industrial scale (Constellium Ltd)
