  • Cavitation in Non-Newtonian Fluids

    With Biomedical and Bioengineering Applications

    by Emil Brujan ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Non-Newtonian properties on bubble dynamics and cavitation are fundamentally different from those of Newtonian fluids. The most significant effect arises from the dramatic increase in viscosity of polymer solutions in an extensional flow, such as that generated about a spherical bubble during its growth or collapse phase. In addition, many biological fluids, such as blood, synovial fluid, and ... Read more
