In this context, the research published in this Special Issue considers the interaction between the cavitation field and acoustic streaming with the melt flow and the suspended solid/liquid phases, the characterization and mapping of cavitation activity in a melt volume, and the possibility of achieving high efficiency in processing large melt volumes through technological approaches for the commercial implementation of ultrasonic processing technology UR - https://mdpi.com/books/pdfview/book/2005 UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/61480 ER -
