This document summarizes a thesis on cavitation in microfluidics. The goals of the thesis are to introduce fundamental terms, research the state-of-the-art technology through literature review, use computational fluid dynamics to model flow in micrometer-sized channels, and design an experiment. The thesis will examine cavitation chemistry and effects, model cavitation in microchannels and millichannels, and provide recommendations for future research work.
