SURVEY OF THERMAL, RADIATION, AND VISCOUS DAMPING OF PULSATING AIR BUBBLES IN WATER

Abstract

A theoretical discussion of thermal, radiation, and viscous damping for resonant air bubbles in water is presented. An error in the derivation by Pfriem for the thermal damping constant is corrected. The experimental results verify that the damping constant at resonance is the sum of the thermal and radiation damping, and possibly viscous damping.
