The Cavitation Zone

  • Chapter
High-Intensity Ultrasonic Fields

Part of the book series: Ultrasonic Technology ((ULTE))

Abstract

In the overwhelming majority of studies devoted to various physical aspects of ultrasonic cavitation (see, e.g., Part IV and portions of Part V of the present book), the authors are concerned with the behavior of the individual isolated cavitation bubble. In reality such a bubble is very rarely encountered, its existence being contingent upon a set of conditions that are difficult to realize. As a rule, even at acoustic pressures not too far above the cavitation threshold, an aggregate of cavitation bubbles appears at once, taking up a definite region of space, which we have chosen to call the cavitation zone. Inspite of the foregoing, even in Flynn’s excellent survey [1] and Pernik’s book [2] the bulk of the text refers to the behavior of an individual bubble, with only two or three pages given over to the cavitation zone.
