This article reviews acoustic microfluidics: the use of acoustic fields, principally ultrasonics,
for application in microfluidics. Although acoustics is a classical field, its promising, and …

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 …

As the intensity of a standing sound wave is increased the pulsations of a bubble of gas
trapped at a velocity node attain sufficient amplitude so as to emit picosecond flashes of light …

Sound and light emission by bubbles is studied experimentally. Single bubbles kept in a
bubble trap and single laser–generated bubbles are investigated using ultrafast and high …

Sonoluminescence, the transduction of sound into light, is a phenomenon that pushes fluid
mechanics beyond its limit. An initial state with long wavelength and low Mach number, such …

A model of single-bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL) is constructed. In the model, the
temperature is assumed to be spatially uniform inside the bubble except at the thermal …

The width of the short light pulses emitted from a single air bubble trapped in a resonant
sound field in degassed water has been measured for the first time using time-correlated …

Nonlinear behavior of bubbles, and most importantly 1 2 1 2-order subharmonics (SH), are
used to increase the contrast-to-tissue ratio (CTR) in diagnostic ultrasound (US) and to …

Recent work on single-bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL) has shown that many features of
this phenomenon, especially the dependence of SBSL intensity and stability on …
