Abstract
High-speed movie pictures, at up to 3200 frames/sec, were made of visible cavitation in liquid helium. Cavitation was generated by a PZT 4 cylindrical transducer at about 52 kHz. The bubbles were found to occur in the form of streaks or streamers consisting of several individual bubbles. Individual bubbles appeared to persist for 10–100 sound cycles. The streamers lasted much longer than the component bubbles and were frequently paired, apparently having a common point of origin. It is unclear if the mechanism of streamer formation in normal liquids is applicable in this case or whether the bubbles originate on vortex filaments.
