Stability of self-similar plane shocks with Hertzian nonlinearity.

The nonlinear progressive wave equation [McDonald and Kuperman, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 81, 1406-1417 (1987)] is expressed in a form to accommodate Hertzian nonlinearity of order n=3/2 typical of granular media. Stability of self-similar plane weak shocks against perturbations in three dimensions is demonstrated for arbitrary order nonlinearity with 1 <n <3. Investigation of stability in the presence of Hertzian nonlinearity is motivated by the nonlinearity coefficient being arbitrarily large in the unstressed state. Energy in the perturbation field is shown to fall off at least as fast as 1/t, while energy in the self-similar wave falls off slower than 1/t. For an initial wave profile increasing in the direction of propagation, it is shown that where the quadratic nonlinearity coefficient diverges, the slope of the wave goes to zero.

Shock wave interaction with laser-generated single bubbles.

The interaction of a lithotripter shock wave (LSW) with laser-generated single vapor bubbles in water is investigated using high-speed photography and pressure measurement via a fiber-optic probe hydrophone. The interaction leads to nonspherical collapse of the bubble with secondary shock wave emission and microjet formation along the LSW propagation direction. The maximum pressure amplification is produced during the collapse phase of the bubble oscillation when the compressive pulse duration of the LSW matches with the forced collapse time of the bubble.
