Kriging model to study the dynamics of a bubble subjected to tandem shock waves as used in biomedical applications.

The purpose of this work was to develop a metamodel (Kriging model) to identify the most important input parameters of shock wave pressure profiles as used in biomedical applications without solving a large number of differential equations. Shock wave-induced cavitation is involved in several biological effects. During bubble collapse, secondary shock waves and microjets are formed.
