2. Ultrasonic cavitation device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_cavitation_device

   Ultrasonic cavitation device is a surgical device using low frequency ultrasound energy to dissect or fragment tissues with low fiber content. It is basically an ultrasound probe (acoustic vibrator) combined with an aspirator device ( suction ). [1] It is mainly used for tissues with high water content and low fiber content, like noncirrhotic ...

3. Ultrasonic antifouling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_antifouling

   Ultrasonic antifouling. Ultrasonic antifouling is a technology that uses high frequency sound ( ultrasound) to prevent or reduce biofouling on underwater structures, surfaces, and medium. Ultrasound is just high frequency sound (which humans can not hear). Ultrasound has the same physical properties as human-audible sound.

4. Sonochemistry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonochemistry

   Sonochemistry. In chemistry, the study of sonochemistry is concerned with understanding the effect of ultrasound in forming acoustic cavitation in liquids, resulting in the initiation or enhancement of the chemical activity in the solution. [1] Therefore, the chemical effects of ultrasound do not come from a direct interaction of the ultrasonic ...

5. Cavitation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavitation

   Ultrasonic cavitation inception will occur when the acceleration of the ultrasound source is enough to produce the needed pressure drop. This pressure drop depends on the value of the acceleration and the size of the affected volume by the pressure wave. The dimensionless number that predicts ultrasonic cavitation is the Garcia-Atance number.

6. Focused ultrasound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focused_ultrasound

   High-intensity focused ultrasound ( HIFU) is a non-invasive therapeutic technique [1] that uses non-ionizing ultrasonic waves to heat or ablate tissue. HIFU can be used to increase the flow of blood or lymph or to destroy tissue, such as tumors, via thermal and mechanical mechanisms. Given the prevalence and relatively low cost of ultrasound ...

7. Sonoluminescence - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonoluminescence

   Single-bubble sonoluminescence – a single, cavitating bubble. Sonoluminescence is the emission of light from imploding bubbles in a liquid when excited by sound. Sonoluminescence was first discovered in 1934 at the University of Cologne. It occurs when a sound wave of sufficient intensity induces a gaseous cavity within a liquid to collapse ...
