Cavitation, shockwaves and electrochemistry: an experimental and theoretical approach to a complex environment
Cavitation, shockwaves and electrochemistry: an experimental and theoretical approach to a complex environment
The investigation of bubble events generated and driven in an acoustic environment is reported.
An electrochemical approach is combined with a number of other chemical and physical
observations of the systems studied. In particular laser scattering through the bubble cloud,
high-speed imaging and luminescent measurements of multibubble sonoluminescence (MBSL)
within the environment below an operating ultrasonic transducer (specifically a piston like
emitter operating at ~ 23 kHz) is discussed in detail. The investigation of this complex
environment highlights the contribution to the system from cluster events, shockwaves, transient
bubble clouds and the electrochemical sensors employed in their investigation. Implications for
the chemical and physical properties of the unusual environments explored will be highlighted
with the need for a combined approach to these systems emphasised. In addition, the inertial
zone, created by the sound source employed, is used to study erosion/corrosion processes at a
stainless steel microelectrode.

Abstract
The investigation of bubble events generated and driven in an acoustic environment is reported.
An electrochemical approach is combined with a number of other chemical and physical
observations of the systems studied. In particular laser scattering through the bubble cloud,
high-speed imaging and luminescent measurements of multibubble sonoluminescence (MBSL)
within the environment below an operating ultrasonic transducer (specifically a piston like
emitter operating at ~ 23 kHz) is discussed in detail. The investigation of this complex
environment highlights the contribution to the system from cluster events, shockwaves, transient
bubble clouds and the electrochemical sensors employed in their investigation. Implications for
the chemical and physical properties of the unusual environments explored will be highlighted
with the need for a combined approach to these systems emphasised. In addition, the inertial
zone, created by the sound source employed, is used to study erosion/corrosion processes at a
stainless steel microelectrode.
