Abstract
It is demonstrated that the influence of surrounding bubbles may signi ficantly affect the rate of nucleation. This arises through the wave a ction associated with the dynamic growth and the relative motion on th e non-critical bubbles. Both affect the local liquid pressure and henc e the critical work required by the classical nucleation theory for cr itical cluster formation.
