Numerical Simulations of Non-Spherical Bubble Collapse with Applications to Shockwave Lithotripsy
<p>Shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) is a non-invasive medical procedure in which shockwaves are focused on kidney stones in an attempt to break them. Because the stones are usually immersed in liquid, cavitation occurs during the process. However, the stone comminution mechanisms and the bubble dyn...
