The inertia-dominated dynamics of a single gas or vapor bubble in an i
ncompressible or nearly incompressible liquid has been the subject of
intense investigation for many years. Studies prior to 1976 were thoro
ughly reviewed by Plesset & Prosperetti (1977) in Volume 9 of this ser
ies. Our review fills the gap between Plesset & Prosperetti's review a
nd the present. We focus on new understandings of bubble dynamics thro
ugh a nonlinear dynamical systems approach.
