Multi-frequency sonoreactor characterisation in the frequency domain using a semi-empirical bubbly liquid model

Recently, multi-frequency systems were reported to improve performance in power ultrasound applications. In line with this, digital prototyping of multi-frequency sonoreactors also started gaining interest. However, the conventional method of simulating multi-frequency acoustic pressure fields in th...
