Dynamics of two interacting bubbles in a nonspherical ultrasound field.

In this paper, we present and analyze a model of the oscillations of a pair of gas bubbles driven by nonspherical ultrasound. We derived our model based on the perturbation and potential flow theories and use it to study three cases of oscillation of two bubbles under driving ultrasound with different initial phases, different separation distances between the bubbles and different sound pressure amplitudes. For the driving ultrasound with different initial phases, we obtain the in-phase and anti-phase radial pulsations of the bubbles in incompressible liquid.
