Abstract
This study presents a novel ‘cavitation-on-a-chip’ device featuring eight parallel microchannels designed to reduce the upstream pressure needed for hydrodynamic cavitation. Using water and a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) microbubble suspension, the device demonstrated a lower cavitation inception pressure compared to single-channel devices. The device also exhibited varied cavitation flow patterns at constant cavitation number and upstream pressure. Its potential applications include microfluidic/organ-on-a-chip devices for drug release and tissue engineering.
