Abstract

The paper analyzes the noise at inception and collapse of an isolated bubble cavity filled with gas and vapour. The expressions and their numerical solutions of the sound pressure and the vibration velocity are presented.

The results indicate that the noise occurs at every stage of a cavity. The noise has comparatively big value only at the late period of collapse. The sound pressure is of magnitude 100db.
