Abstract:
The method of lifetime measurement has been used to investigate spontaneous cavitation kinetics in superheated liquid argon in weak acoustic fields. It is shown that acoustic cavitation may proceed both by the mechanism of homogeneous nucleation of the vapor phase and by way of 'build-up' of vapor bubbles generated by high-energy particles or the action of some other external factor. Acoustic cavitation thresholds are adequately described by homogeneous nucleation theory.
