Bubble Pressure Generating System

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADD019047 | Open PDF

Abstract:

A pressure generating system uses a shock wave chamber filled with a liquid pressurized to a static pressure different from ambient atmospheric pressure. Once a preferred location is established in the chamber, a pulsed compressional acoustic shock wave introduced into the liquid is reflected from a free surface of the liquid as a dilatation wave focused on a point at which a bubble forms and expands about an object. The static pressure causes the bubble to collapse around the object to generate a high pressure thereat.
