Although physico-mathematical models of microbubbles encapsulated by a membrane such as lipid have been proposed aimed toward ultrasound contrast agent, they are limited to a single or a few bubbles. Further, microscopic studies of the membranes from molecular scale have also been performed. However, in the clinical practice of ultrasound diagnosis, a sufficiently large number of bubbles are administered. In this paper, a physico-mathematical model describing multiple encapsulated microbubbles was proposed from the cross-disciplinary viewpoints of multiphase flows, continuum mechanics, and nonlinear acoustics to clarify the macroscopic acoustic properties of multiple encapsulated microbubbles.
