A numerical study of the effect of viscoelasticity on cavitation and bubble dynamics
In this thesis two different models and numerical methods have been developed to investigate the dynamics of bubbles in viscoelastic fluids. In the interests of gaining crucial initial insights, a simplifed system of governing equations is first considered. The ambient fluid around the bubble is con...
