The many particle problem of moving cavitation bubbles in a liquid exposed to ultrasound need certain ingredients: Besides N bubbles and their positions ~xi and velocities ~ui, one has to specify the bubble sizes and shapes. Mechanisms for nucleation and annihilation or coalescence of bubbles have to be introduced, and a sound field distribution has to be given. Additionally, a liquid motion ca...
