Phys. Rev. E 64, 017301 (2001) [3 pages]Shape stability of sonoluminescence bubbles: Comparison of theory to experimentsReceived 26 February 2001; published 28 June 2001 Single bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL) is the brief flash of light emitted from a single, stable, acoustically forced bubble. In experiments, the maximum pressure amplitude with which a bubble may be forced is limited by considerations of spherical stability. The traditional linear stability analysis predicts a threshold for SBSL at a much lower pressure amplitude than experimental observations. This work shows that if one constructs an accurate model of the radial dynamics, the traditional linear stability analysis predicts a boundary that is in excellent agreement with experimental data. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
