Distributions of the high temperature and the high pressure inside a single acoustically driven bubble

The physical circumstances inside an acoustically driven single gas bubble in water have been intensively explored during the past few years. Starting from the results obtained for a typical case in a well known early paper (Wu and Roberts, Phys. Rev. Lett., 1993, 70(22): 3424) and introducing successively several corrections to the physical model, this paper computes in corresponding order the temporal and spatial distributions of significant physical parameters, including the temperature and the pressure, in the bubble around the moment of the bubble's violent collapse, until expectations in consistence with the present points of view are procured. For the peak temperature our results agree with the prevailing belief that in a typical stable single bubble it is of the order of 10,000 deg. (Author)
