This paper deals experimentally with the mechanism of an impulsive pressure generated by a collapsing bubble. In a water filled shock tube, an expansion wave and a subsequent compression wave are applied to single, twin and triadic bubbles. The growth, collapse and rebound of bubbles situated at various distances from a solid boundary are observed by means of high-speed photography and in-line Fraunhofer holography using a pulsed dye laser. The results indicate that the impulsive pressure is caused by a shock wave radiated at the instant of the rebound of a collapsing bubble, and that the subsequent jet impingement does not produce any detectable effects. The pressure pulse is found to be of the order 104 ∼ 105 atm, and its duration 2 ∼ 3 μsec.
