Simulations of radial motion of 5 micron air bubble in toluene and n-hexane as cavitation medium. 𝑓=35 kHz; 𝑃_A=150 kPa; and 𝑃_𝑜=100 kPa. Time history of (a) radius of the bubble; (b) temperature inside the bubble; (c) water vapor evaporation in the bubble; (d) pressure inside the bubble; (e) microturbulence generated by the bubble; and (f) acoustic waves emitted by the bubble.
