Vapor compression and energy dissipation in a collapsing laser-induced bubble

Mohamed Farhat, Danail Obreschkow, Armand Baptiste Sieber, Davide Bernardo Preso

The composition of the gaseous phase of cavitation bubbles and its role on the collapse remains to date poorly understood. In this work, experiments of single cavitation bubbles in aqueous ammonia serve as a novel approach to investigate the effect of the ...
