The benefits of ultrasound are its ease-of-use and its ability to precisely deliver energy in opaque and complex media. However, most materials responsive to ultrasound show a weak response, requiring the use of high powers, which are…
We study nonlinear dynamics in a model of three interacting encapsulated gas bubbles in a liquid. The model is a system of three coupled nonlinear oscillators with an external periodic force. Such bubbles have numerous applications, for…
We present an analytical model for the frequency response of a gas microbubble oscillating near a spherical inclusion of arbitrary size and mechanical nature (rigid, fluid, or viscoelastic) immersed in a viscous compressible fluid. The…
The influence of initial shape imperfections on the post-buckling and translational behavior of encapsulated microbubbles is investigated subject to acoustic excitation in an unbounded flow. Bifurcation analysis reveals that imperfections…
Ultrasound-driven microbubbles are increasingly being investigated for both molecular imaging and therapeutic applications. To be effective, these bubbles must be brought into close proximity or direct contact with the target site.…
The attenuation of small-amplitude acoustic waves in a suspension containing ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs, coated microbubbles) is determined by the linear oscillation of the UCAs in the medium, which can be estimated via a linear…

Microbubbles excited by acoustic fields inside water oscillate, and generate acoustic radiation forces and drag-induced acoustic streaming. These forces can be harnessed in various biomedical applications such as targeted drug delivery and…
Nonlinear oscillations of a bubble carrying a constant charge and suspended in a fluid, undergoing periodic forcing due to incident ultrasound are studied. The system exhibits period-doubling route to chaos and the presence of charge has…

We study the time-domain acoustic wave propagation in the presence of a micro-bubble. This micro-bubble is characterized by a mass density and bulk modulus which are both very small as compared to the ones of the background vacuum. The goal…
Ultrasound-driven microbubbles rectify oscillatory motion into strong steady streaming flow [1, 2]. In this fluid dynamics video, we show size-dependent trapping, focusing and sorting of microparticles, utilizing the interaction between…
Ultrasound-guided drug and gene delivery (usdg) enables controlled and spatially precise delivery of drugs and macromolecules, encapsulated in microbubbles (embs) and submicron gas vesicles (gvs), to target areas such as cancer tumors. It…

Correct measurement of the shell properties of coated microbubbles (MBs) is essential to understanding and optimizing their response to ultrasound (US) exposure parameters in diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound. MBs are surrounded by…
High-intensity ultrasound excites pre-existing bubbles in tissue-like material, and the subsequent bubble activity may lead to damage. To investigate such damage mechanisms, agar tissue-mimicking phantoms were subjected to multiple pressure…
