Numerical Simulation of an Ultrasonic Vibratory Cavitation Device
As an experimental quantitative method to assess erosion risk, the acoustic emission (AE) technique has been employed, for example, by Lloyds Register for more than a decade now to complement their borescopic cavitation observation at the ship scale. Boorsma and Fitzsimmons (2009) reported (see Fig. 1,) its correlation with borescope observed cavitation events appeared very positive and the loc...
متن کاملA novel ultrasonic cavitation enhancer
We introduce a Cavitation Intensifying Bag as a versatile tool for acoustic cavitation control. The cavitation activity is spatially controlled by the modification of the inner surface of the bag with patterned pits of microscopic dimensions. We report on different measurements such as the transmission of ultrasound, temperature increase inside the bag during sonication. Several applications of...
متن کاملCavitation occurrence around ultrasonic dental scalers.
Ultrasonic scalers are used in dentistry to remove calculus and other contaminants from teeth. One mechanism which may assist in the cleaning is cavitation generated in cooling water around the scaler. The vibratory motion of three designs of scaler tip in a water bath has been characterised by laser vibrometry, and compared with the spatial distribution of cavitation around the scaler tips obs...
متن کاملSonoporation: mechanical DNA delivery by ultrasonic cavitation.
Development of nonviral gene transfer methods would be a valuable addition to the gene-therapy armamentarium, particularly for localized targeting of specific tissue volumes. Ultrasound can produce a variety of nonthermal bioeffects via acoustic cavitation including DNA delivery. Cavitation bubbles may induce cell death or transient membrane permeabilization (sonoporation) on a single cell leve...
متن کاملEnsuring quality in medical laboratories.
The problems in Canada with laboratory medicine were recently discussed in CMAJ. The Canadian Association of Pathologists released a 5-point action plan following its 2008 annual meeting. We fully endorse the call for mandatory external testing of proficiency for all Canadian medical laboratories and the dissemination of a quality-management checklist for diagnostic immunohistochemistry. Howeve...
