Single-bubble sonoluminescence occurs when an acoustically trapped and periodically
driven gas bubble collapses so strongly that the energy focusing at collapse leads to light …

Bubbles in liquids, soft and squeezy objects made of gas and vapour, yet so strong as to
destroy any material and so mysterious as at times turning into tiny light bulbs, are the topic …

Sonoluminescence is the production of light from acoustically forced bubbles; sonochemistry
is a related chemical processing technique. The two phenomena share a sensitive …

Time-resolved measurements of the temperature field in an agar-based tissue-mimicking
phantom insonated with a large aperture 1-MHz focused acoustic transducer are reported …

An air bubble driven by ultrasound can become shape-unstable through a parametric
instability. We report time-resolved optical observations of shape oscillations (mode n= 2 to …

We review recent attempts to elucidate the phenomenon of sonoluminescence in terms of
fundamental principles. We focus mainly on the processes which generate the light, but …

While it is still a mystery of how a low-energy-density sound wave can concentrate enough
energy in a small enough volume to cause the emission of light, research in acoustic …

The bubbles involved in sonochemistry and other applications of cavitation oscillate
inertially. A correct estimation of the wave attenuation in such bubbly media requires a …

Gas bubbles driven in radial oscillations are subject to an instability of the spherical shape
that is opposed by surface tension and viscosity. An exact linear formulation for the study of …

The effect of dissipation on the shape stability of a harmonically excited bubble is
investigated. The employed liquid is the highly viscous glycerine. The rate of the dissipation …
