On acoustic cavitation of slightly subcritical bubbles

On acoustic cavitation of slightly subcritical bubbles

An analytic expression is obtained for the threshold acoustic pressure amplitude which causes gas bubbles that are slightly smaller than the critical size to undergo cavitation in a liquid. The derivation is based on the Rayleigh–Plesset equation which describes nonlinear bubble oscillations. In the limit where the steady part of …
