Acoustic Cavitation and Multi Bubble Sonoluminescence

  • Chapter
Sonochemistry and Sonoluminescence

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 524))

Abstract

Liquids can be ruptured by sound waves. The cavities thereby formed collect some gas dissolved in the liquid and start to oscillate in the sound field. In space they assemble to a dendritic filamentary pattern. In time this pattern (the set of individual bubbles) shows period doubling to chaotic motion and light emission (multi bubble sonoluminescence). This article reports on measurements pertaining to these topics.
