Experimental study on the collapse behavior of cavitation bubbles under low ambient pressure conditions by Tong Qu, Jing Luo, Weilin Xu, Jie Li, Guihua Fu, Yueqing Ma, Zhuoqi Zhao

“…Therefore, a low-voltage discharge method was utilized to produce cavitation bubbles in water at low ambient pressures (56 kPa to 96 kPa), and the impact of low ambient pressure on bubble collapse behavior was systematically studied. Experimental results show that as ambient pressure decreases, the pressure difference between the interior and exterior of bubbles, induced by identical energy, changes during their evolution. …”
