Bubble cluster dynamics in viscoelastic media is instructive for ultrasound diagnosis and therapy. In this paper, we propose a statistical model for bubble cluster dynamics in viscoelastic media considering the radius distribution of bubble nuclei. By investigating and comparing the response for a bubble in three conditions: single bubble; multi-bubble with the same radius; multi-bubble with different radius, the following rules are found: The promotion or suppression of the bubble cluster on the bubble vibration is not monotonous with the increase of the number of bubbles.

In this paper, we first simulate the acoustic field distribution law in the reaction chamber by using the finite element method and orthogonal experiment method, then measure the viscosity of the oil sample with temperature by vibration type viscometer and get the corresponding function equation by fitting. On this basis, we measure the viscosity of the oil sample with ultrasonic irradiation time and electric power change in real-time and in situ, and finally analyze the mechanism of oil sample viscosity variation by using a temperature recorder and cavitation noise method.
