We propose a technique to measure the velocity of a bubble cloud based on the coda correlation. The method is founded on successive recordings of multiple scattered waves from a bubble cloud. Our model predicts the dependence between the correlation coefficient of these coda waves and the velocity of the bubble cloud under diffusion approximation. The Acoustic experiments are validated by simultaneous optical measurements in a water tank, with a good agreement between the acoustical and the optical methods (relative difference smaller than 7%). This technique can be transposed to any particle flow velocity problems involving multiple scattering effects in acoustics.

Cavitation plays a crucial role in the reliability of components in refrigeration systems. The properties of refrigerants change significantly with temperature, thereby amplifying the impact of thermodynamic effects. This study, based on the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) method and the Schnerr-Sauer (S-S) cavitation model, investigates the transient cavitating flow characteristics of the R134a refrigerant in a Venturi tube (VT).

Visible and microwave satellite measurements can provide the global whitecap fraction. The bubble clouds are three-dimensional structures, and a space-based lidar can provide complementary observations of the bubble depth. Here, we use lidar measurements of the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) satellite to quantify global bubble depth from the depolarization.

Objective: Low-intensity histotripsy (LIH) is a novel and safe technique for tissue ablation. This study aimed to explore the effects of LIH on canine prostate tissue and identify the degree of acute injury to the gland.
Methods: We constructed and evaluated two types of acoustically responsive droplet (ARD) emulsions using either perfluoropentane (PFP) with a lipid shell or perfluoromethyl-cyclopentane (PFMCP) with lauromacrogol (L) injection.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and malignant type of primary brain tumor. Even after surgery and chemoradiotherapy, residual GBM cells can infiltrate the healthy brain parenchyma to form secondary tumors. To mitigate GBM recurrence, we recently developed an injectable hydrogel that can be crosslinked in the resection cavity to attract, collect, and ablate residual GBM cells.
