Particle Removal in Ultrasonic Water Flow Cleaning Role of Cavitation Bubbles as Cleaning Agents

Article Preview

Abstract:

Visualization experiments are performed to examine the role of acoustic cavitation bubbles that appear in 0.43-MHz ultrasonic water flow spreading over glass surfaces in the context of physical cleaning. The cleaning performance is evaluated using glass samples on which small silica particles are spin-coated. The visualization suggests that acoustic cavitation bubbles play a major role in particle removal as in the case of conventional cleaning with ultrasonic cleaning baths.
