The focus of the present thesis is to provide more detailed and reliable desc riptions and models to quantify the mutual relation between flow and sound field, cavitation bubbles and ener gy dissipation in sonochemical reactors. The major problem regarding the simulation of such a phenome non is that different time and spatial scales have to be considered simultaneously. The starting point of th e research is the numerical investigation of the cavitational activity using linearized assumptions in a conica l shape reactor. Different working assumptions for modeling of the wave propagation, attenuation of pr essu e due to cavitation bubbles and the influence of wave frequency, input power and reactor ge ometry are examined. Based on the linearized wave equation in the frequency domain, a fast and robust nume rical method is developed and applied in the COMSOL Multiphysics software. Results illustrate that both, the fr equency and power of the ultrasound source may be optimized with respect to the location and strength of cavitation. In addition, different boundary conditions to model the absorbing properties of wall boundaries, lead to significantly different wave patterns. Based on the quasi-linear analysis performed in the first part, the approa ch is enhanced to account for the attenuating effect of gas bubbles in cavitating flows considering more rigor ous physical models. Firstly, using an energy conservation approach, a new model is developed for nonlinear damping of acoustic waves considering the compressibility of the liquid around bubbles. Different type s of damping are introduced into the nonlinear damping models and their sources are illustrated. Secondly, a unified computational method is developed to couple the dynamics of cavitating bubbles and wave pro pagation in a turbulent flow. The approach is based on the OpenFOAM software library, which a llows implementing different models and numerical schemes in an efficient way. To investigate the structur e of bubbles, an EulerianLagrangian approach for bubbles with varying radii is developed. Fur thermore, the interaction among bubbles (collision and the effect of secondary Bjerknes force) and a lso between the bubbles swarm and acoustic waves (nonlinear damping and primary Bjerknes force) are con sidered. To verify and validate the present approach, several generic test cases as well as exper imental configurations are selected for comparison. Results show that the solver predicts the structure of bubbles , their interaction with acoustic waves and the flow field due to acoustic streaming in a precise way. Therefo re, the approach is beneficial for numerical simulation of three-dimensional sonochemical reactors with co mplex geometry, including the essential physics.
