Investigation of a New Model for Bubbly Cavitating Flow

Abstract
A new model for bubbly, cavitating flow is validated and used to study the shock-induced oscillations of bubble clouds arising in shockwave lithotripsy and other applications. Compared to previous models based on volume and phase averaging, the new model extends the range of void fractions that can be reliably simulated and, for appropriately low void fractions, reproduces the results of the polydisperse phase-averaged model with much smaller computational expense.
