On the gaseous nature of positive filamentary streamers in hydrocarbon liquids. II: Propagation, growth and collapse of gaseous filaments in pentane

TL;DR: In this paper, a study of the dynamics of positive streamer filaments in pentane using an optical method described in the text for pressures up to 9 MPa is presented.

Underwater implosion of glass spheres

TL;DR: Underwater implosion experiments were conducted with thin-wall glass spheres to determine the influence that structural failure has on the pressure pulse, and the model results show that the failure time history of the structure has a significant influence on an implosion pressure pulse.

The importance of ultrasonic parameters in the preparation of fuel cell catalyst inks

TL;DR: In this article, two commercial carbon supported Pt (Pt/C) catalysts were used and dispersed in Nafion® ionomer and the results showed that an optimised ultrasonic treatment is required to improve the catalytic ink activity, but longer irradiation is detrimental to its composition and morphology.

Cavity ripples observed during the impact of solid objects into liquids

TL;DR: An irrotational model is presented which explains the ripples of the air cavity entrained by a rapidly moving solid object entering the free surface of a liquid as a spatial rectification of these volume oscillations by the surface of the moving object.

Sonoelectrochemistry: transient cavitation in acetonitrile in the neighbourhood of a polarized electrode

TL;DR: A semi-quantitative description of the integrated transient component is proposed in the case of the one-electron reduction of methyl viologen in acetonitrile at a platinum disc electrode of small radius (250 μm) under the action of ultrasound.
