Shock-induced bubble collapse near a tissue-like material

Abstract

In this study, we numerically investigate the shock-induced bubble collapse phenomenon near a tissue-like material. Here, a sharp-interface model is applied to represent a 3-material system containing the liquid, the air and the gelatin. We present the results of the complex interface dynamics and compare them with the experimental data. The goal of this study is to understand the mechanism of the shock wave–bubble interaction near tissues in a more accurate manner with advanced numerical methods.
