Abstract
Gas bubbles in liquids are known to be highly efficient scatterers of sound, even if the bubble diameter is much smaller than the wavelength of the sound. This makes bubbles unique compared to other particles of equal size. The strong acoustic scatter makes bubbles important in several applications of acoustics, as sources of noise, absorption and scatter. Some examples of applications are:
