This work presents the structure of viscous shock front in a non-ideal gas. The analytical expressions for the particle velocity, temperature, pressure and change-in-entropy within the shock transition region are derived taking into consideration the Landau and Lifshitz equation of state for non-ideal gas. The effects on the structure of shock front due to the variations of the coefficient of viscosity, Mach number, adiabatic exponent and parameter of non-ideality of the gas are investigated. The model developed in the paper is valid only for small values of Mach number M i.e., M<2.5.
Laser-induced bubbles can be caused by an optical breakdown in water. They are a result of the optodynamical process where the energy of a high intensity laser pulse is converted into the mechanical energy through an optodynamic conversion. At this process the absorbed optical energy causes plasma expansion that in turn initiates dynamic phenomena: spreading of a shock wave and the development of a cavitation bubble. When the cavitation bubble reaches its maximum radius it starts to collapse due to the pressure of the surrounding liquid. This collapse in turn initiates a new bubble growth and bubble collapse. The process therefore repeats itself, resulting in so-called cavitation-bubble oscillations, with a new shock wave being emitted after every collapse. We present an optodynamic characterization of cavitation bubble's oscillations based on a laser beam-deflection probe. Employed setup enabled us one- or two-dimensional scanning with deflections of a laser probe beam. Deflections were detected with a fast quadrant photodiode.
