Numerical investigation on single bubble sonoluminescence

We investigate single bubble sonoluminescence using various types of waves as the drive sound, such as a rectangular triangular or saw-toothed wave, o r sine wave with a short pulse. We use the Rayleigh-Plesset equation and th e adiabatic mode to describe the bubble's behavior. The different effects o f these different types of drive sounds have been studied by numerical calc ulation. We find that adding a pulse to the drive sound can improve the int ensity of the sonoluminescence.
