Single Bubble Sonoluminescence

Single-bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL) is a light-emission event from a stably oscillating bubble trapped at the pressure anti-node of a standing ultrasound wave, a phenomenon that has been studied intensively for a decade [1]. Using ceramic piezoelectric transducers PZT, we are able to irradiate a liquid inside a resonator flask by means of an ultrasound wave, and we eventually capture a bubble inside a restricted domain in the aqueous medium. The trapped bubble will expand and collapse at an accelerated rate, emitting light. To capture the bubble we perform some experiments using differently sized and shaped piezoelectric transducers, and we manage to verify their capacitance and impedance behavior in our sonoluminescence circuit. Our experiments were performed at Laboratory of Experimental and Applied Physics (LaFEA) at CEFET-RJ.

Focusing Properties

In this paper the characteristics of acoustic field for miniature cylindrical focused transducer with a hole was studied in order to instruct the optimization design of the transducer for both realizing visualization and improving the treatment effect. Then the acoustic field was simulated numerically with different parameters of hole. It is found that position of focus is almost unchanged but acoustic pressure amplitude declines. In addition the performance of transverse focusing for the focal plane and levels length of acoustic pressure are lowered. Moreover, if size of transducer and rigidity of material permit, the area and ratio of width to height for the hole should be reduced appropriately to improve the focusing properties. And it is deduced that area and ratio of width to height for the cylinder can be increased to achieve the same therapeutic effect with a fixed hole size.

Spark Bubble

The objective of this paper was to investigate acoustic pressure waves and the transient flow structure emitted from the single bubble near an elastic boundary based on the particle image velocimetry (PIV). A combination of an electric-spark bubble generator and PIV were used to measure the temporal bubble shapes, transient flow structure, as well as the mid-span deflection of an elastic boundary. Results are presented for three different initial positions near an elastic boundary, which were compared with results obtained using a rigid boundary. A formula relating velocity and pressure was proposed to calculate the acoustic pressure contours surrounding a bubble based on the velocity field of the transient flow structure obtained using PIV. The results show the bubbles near the elastic boundary presented a “mushroom” bubble and an inverted cone bubble. Based on the PIV-measured acoustic pressure contours, a significant pressure difference is found between the elastic boundary and the underside of the bubble, which contributed to the formation of the “mushroom” bubble and inverted cone bubble. Furthermore, the bubbles had opposite migration direction near rigid and elastic boundaries, respectively. In detail, the bubble was repelled away from the elastic boundary and the bubble was attracted by the rigid boundary. The resultant force made up of a Bjerknes force and buoyancy force dominated the migration direction of the bubble.
