Abstract:
The major cases for a local electrification of bubbles in a cavitation field were considered: with the fragmentation of cavitation bubbles and also with only deformation of them. The problem of the uncompensated charge on the surface of the deformed cavitation bubble is solved in general view. The radial deformations approximated by the paraboloid of rotation and axial deformations by one cavity hyperboloid of rotation. The maximum electric strength is accounted. In the terms of electrical theory of the local electrification of cavitation bubbles the explanation of some physical and physico-chemical effects in the cavitation fields is proposed. The theory of local electrification now is single theory which correlates majority of experimental facts for multibubble cavitation fields. The theory of single bubble sonoluminescence was worked out.
