Acoustic Cavitation and Nonlinear Dynamics If you focus ultrasonic waves into water, tiny bubbles will be produced, forming a fractal structure and radiating sound by themselves. This is a cavitation field being produced by a radially symmetric sound field of approximately 23 kHz. Above you see an image of a strange attractor from acoustic cavitation noise. It is constructed from a time series ...
