Algal blooms represent an increasing challenge for the preservation of freshwater quality worldwide. Among the emerging control technologies, the application of ultrasound in aquatic media is considered an alternative. At the Hydraulics Laboratory of the National University of Córdoba (UNC), the use of ultrasonic transducers for controlling Microcystis spp. cyanobacteria in small laboratory-scale volumes is being investigated. Concurrently, the flow field is being characterized in detail using numerical models implemented with available OpenFOAM(R) codes. This work presents preliminary results, currently under validation, from two numerical models: one contrasted with previously published data and the other compared with laboratory experimental results.
