Abstract
A spherical bubble in a liquid can be viewed as a nonlinear oscillator that can be set into radial oscillations by a sound field. At larger oscillation amplitudes this oscillation must become nonlinear because the bubble can be elongated from its equilibrium radius to arbitrarily large radius values, but can be compressed only down to near zero radius. Bubbles of different radius at rest R n respond differently to the same sound field. This study reports on numerical investigations of this response for bubbles of 1 μm ≤ R n ≤ 500 μm for sound field frequencies in the near ultrasonic range and sound pressure amplitudes up to 150 kPa. Special attention is paid to the giant resonance at small radii [1].
