The dependence of the moving sonoluminescing bubble trajectory on the driving pressure

With a complete accounting of hydrodynamic forces on the translational-radial dynamics of a moving single-bubble sonoluminescence, temporal evolution of the bubble trajectory is investigated. In this paper, by using quasi-adiabatic evolution for the bubble interior, the bubble peak temperature at the bubble collapse is calculated. The peak temperature changes because of the bubble translational motion. The numerical results indicate that the strength of the bubble collapse is affected by its translational movement. At the bubble collapse, translational movement of the bubble is accelerated because of the increase in the added mass force on the bubble. It is shown that the magnitude of the added mass force rises by the increase in the amplitude of the driving pressure. Consequently, the increase in added mass force results in the longer trajectory path and duration. (C) 2009 Acoustical Society of America. [DOI:10.1121/1.3183413]
