Abstract

The pressure response of a small air bubble in water is calculated numerically in an oscillatory pressure field. The following phenomena are taken into account in the calculation ; mist formation inside the bubble due to homogeneous condensation, diffusion between vapor and noncondensable gas inside the bubble and so on. The internal condition adapts itself easily to the oscillatory pressure field by the internal phenomena, which includes mist formation, evaporation and deposition onto the bubbler wall, so that the bubble tends to oscillate synchronously. The frequency response curves for bubbles are calculated. The curve is shifted towards low frequency, and the maximum bubble radius becomes large. When the pressure amplitude is increased, the periodic bubble oscillation bifurcates to non-periodic oscillation, which is a deterministic chaos.
