An Evaluation of Acoustic Techniques for Measuring Gas Bubble Size Distributions in Cavitation Research.

Abstract

The acoustic tone burst attenuation technique for measuring the gas bubble size distribution in water was critically reviewed. The findings indicate how the usefulness of the technique is limited to a bubble volume concentration range between 0.03 and 1.0 parts per million. Resolution between size ranges is probably not obtainable with sufficient accuracy for the purposes intended.
