This is the familiar damped oscillator, but its stiffness is supplied mainly by gas compression and capillarity, and its inertia comes from surrounding liquid. A positive acoustic pressure compresses the bubble, which explains the minus sign in the forcing term. The restoring coefficient must be positive for stable small oscillations.
这就是熟悉的阻尼振子,但其刚度主要来自气体压缩和毛细作用,惯性则来自周围液体。正声压会压缩气泡,因此激励项前有负号。要产生稳定小振动,回复系数必须为正。

This is the familiar Minnaert-type scaling. The inverse-radius dependence is more important than memorizing a numerical coefficient for one liquid and one ambient pressure. For micron-scale bubbles, ignoring surface tension can produce a noticeable error.
这就是常见的Minnaert类尺度关系。与其记忆某一种液体、某一个环境压力下的数值系数,不如理解频率与半径成反比的规律。对于微米级气泡,忽略表面张力可能造成明显误差。

The phase changes across resonance. In a pressure-driven bubble, remember the sign reversal between pressure and expansive force when interpreting phase. The frequency of maximum displacement response is not exactly when damping is appreciable. Nor is a nonlinear bubble's resonance curve guaranteed to match the linear one. [S413]
相位会跨越共振区发生变化。对于压力驱动气泡,解释相位时必须记住压力与膨胀驱动力之间的反号关系。当阻尼不可忽略时,最大位移响应对应的频率不再严格等于。非线性气泡的共振曲线也不一定与线性模型一致。[S413]

6.3 Three damping mechanisms
三种阻尼机制
Viscous dissipation is explicit in the incompressible radial equation. Thermal damping arises because pressure and volume are not related by a perfectly reversible instantaneous law when heat exchange is finite-rate. Acoustic radiation carries energy into the far field and is absent from an incompressible model. Near resonance, a leading small-bubble radiation estimate is ; the detailed frequency-dependent impedance is more general. [S413, S409]
黏性耗散直接出现在不可压缩径向方程中。有限速率热交换使压力和体积不再服从完全可逆、瞬时的关系,从而产生热阻尼。声辐射将能量输运至远场,而不可压缩模型不包含这一机制。在共振附近,小气泡的一个首阶声辐射估计为;更一般的描述需要考虑随频率变化的阻抗。[S413, S409]
For the 10-micrometer example, this radiation estimate is about , comparable in order of magnitude to the viscous rate. Changing to fit a decaying envelope is not a clean way to model radiation loss: it changes stiffness and thermodynamic assumptions at the same time.
对于10微米示例,这个声辐射估计约为,与黏性衰减率处于相近量级。通过修改来拟合衰减包络,并不是表达声辐射损失的合理方式,因为这样会同时改变刚度和热力学假设。
6.4 What becomes nonlinear first
哪些效应首先变得非线性
Large oscillations sample the nonlinear gas pressure law, the inertia term, and a changing effective mass. Expansion can be relatively slow and collapse very sharp. Harmonics, subharmonics, multiple responses, and sensitivity to initial conditions can arise in appropriate forcing regimes, but they are not inevitable in every experiment. Keller and Miksis show why radiation matters for large-amplitude oscillations rather than acting as an optional cosmetic correction. [S413]
大振幅振荡会显现气体压力定律的非线性、惯性项,以及变化的有效质量。膨胀可能相对缓慢,而塌缩十分尖锐。在适当激励条件下,可能出现谐波、次谐波、多重响应和初值敏感性,但并不是每个实验都会如此。Keller和Miksis的研究说明,声辐射会影响大振幅振荡,而不是可有可无的装饰性修正。[S413]
Checkpoint. A Fourier spectrum containing high frequencies does not by itself prove a shock wave. A sharp but continuous nonlinear waveform also contains harmonics. Shock identification requires a compatible propagation model or suitably resolved measurements.
自检。频谱中出现高频成分,并不能单独证明存在激波。尖锐但连续的非线性波形也会含有谐波。识别激波需要相容的传播模型,或具有足够分辨率的测量。
