Abstract

In most cases, the dominant mechanism of energy dissipation for a bubble in volume oscillations is the thermal energy exchanged with the liquid. The process is subtle and its precise description a matter of some complexity. These features have prevented its ready incorporation in many applications, which forcedly have to rely on the rather inaccurate polytropic pressure–volume relation. This paper develops two approximate models of the thermal interaction, formulated in terms of ordinary differential equations, which can be readily added to standard Rayleigh–Plesset-type formulations at a modest computational cost.
