Abstract

The dissipative mechanisms of an isolated bubble in water for sound wave are analysed on the basis of the linearized theory of oscillations of a gas bubble. It is shown that the dissipative effects are obvious and contain the scattering and absorption of sound by a bubble; the heat conduction is decisive in the dissipative effects of bubble; and the dissipative effects are maximum at resonance.
