Acoustic instability induced in compressible, transparent fluids by electrostrictive effects

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

If the electromagnetic energy density of the incident high-energy laser beam is sufficiently high, an instability is induced in an irradiated, compressible fluid by electrostrictive effects. The physical basis of this instability is that a dielectric fluid flows toward a region of high-energy density, countering the usual tendency of a fluid to flow from a region of higher to lower pressure. An observable signature of this instability is calculated. This instability can occur in water droplets that are irradiated by a high-energy laser beam.
