Abstract

Details from cavitation bubble dynamics are reported: jet formation, counterjet formation, shock wave radiation and light emission. Multiple shock wave radiation from single bubble collapse with jet formation could be time resolved by high speed photography with 20 million frames per second. An explanation of counterjet formation is given. Pictures of the light emission (sonoluminescence) in acoustic cavitation are presented.
