ABSTRACT

Acoustically excited bubbles are involved in a wide range of phenomena and applications ranging from oceanography to sonoluminescence; they have applications in chemistry, medical imaging, and therapeutic ultrasound. The complexity of bubble dynamics and the limited understanding of their behavior restricts the exploration of their full potential. The bubble oscillator is a highly nonlinear system, which makes it difficult to generate a comprehensive understanding of its oscillatory behavior. One method used to investigate such complex dynamical systems is the bifurcation analysis. Numerous investigations have employed the method of bifurcation diagrams to study the effect of different control parameters on the bubble behavior. These studies, however, focused mainly on investigating the subharmonic (SH) and chaotic oscillations of the bubbles. Super-harmonic (SuH) and ultra-harmonic (UH) bubble oscillations remain under-investigated. One reason is that the conventional method used for generating bifurcation diagrams cannot reliably identify features that are responsible for the identification of SuH and UH oscillations. Additionally, the conventional method cannot distinguish between the UHs and SHs. We introduce a simple procedure for the generation of bifurcation diagrams to address this shortcoming. This method selects the maxima of the bubble oscillatory response and plots them alongside the traditional bifurcation points for the corresponding control parameter. Through applying this method, the oscillatory behavior of the bubble oscillator is analyzed, and stable SuH and UH bubble oscillations are investigated. Based on this new analysis, the conditions for the generation and amplification of UH and SuH regimes are discussed.

研究动机与目标

• 解决声致气泡振子中超谐波（SuH）和亚超谐波（UH）振荡缺乏全面分析方法的问题。
• 克服传统分岔分析的局限性，即每周期仅采样一次数据，无法揭示亚谐波和亚超谐波动力学。
• 开发一种方法，提取并绘制气泡振荡的最大值，以揭示隐藏的SuH和UH共振。
• 为识别SuH和UH振荡占主导的参数区域（尤其是非线性系统如脂质壳微泡）提供框架。
• 通过揭示此前未被发现的非线性行为，实现对超声应用（如增强型造影成像、药物递送和组织碎裂术）的优化。

提出的方法

• 该方法通过绘制径向气泡振荡（R/R₀）的局部最大值，而非按固定周期间隔采样，对传统分岔图进行改进。
• 采用四阶龙格-库塔法数值求解声激励下气泡动力学的凯勒-米克斯方程。
• 从径向加速度和速度计算回波压力（PSc），并通过谱分析分析其频率成分。
• 结合相图和时域R(t)曲线，与分岔图共同验证振荡模式并识别周期性。
• 将该方法与传统分岔分析并行应用，以对比和比较传统采样与最大值追踪方法的差异。
• 系统性地改变控制参数，如初始半径（R₀）、驱动频率（f）和压力幅值（PA），以绘制非线性动力学图谱。

实验结果

研究问题

• RQ1 为何传统分岔方法无法揭示声致气泡中中超谐波和亚超谐波振荡？
• RQ2 在何种条件下，气泡振子中会出现二阶超谐波（SuH）和亚超谐波（UH）共振？
• RQ3 径向振荡的最大值如何与回波压力谱中特定谐波成分的存在相关联？
• RQ4 当传统方法掩盖了潜在的亚谐波行为时，所提出的方法能否区分一周期（P1）和二周期（P2）振荡模式？
• RQ5 初始条件和非线性壳层动力学（如脂质壳）如何影响SuH和UH成分的生成？

主要发现

• 基于最大值的分岔方法成功揭示了在f = 2.6 MHz和PA = 275 kPa时的二阶超谐波（SuH）共振，此时信号每周期呈现两个显著最大值。
• 在f = 1.2 MHz和PA = 145 kPa时，该方法识别出每周期含四个最大值的P2振荡，表明存在二阶SuH共振，并伴有显著的5/2和7/2亚超谐波成分。
• 二阶SuH成分在回波压力谱中为最强信号，超过1/2阶亚谐波及其他UH成分。
• 传统分岔图因仅显示P1或P2模式而错误表征动力学，而最大值方法揭示了多个内部最大值，表明存在复杂的SuH和UH行为。
• 如5/2和7/2等亚超谐波（UH）成分强于1/2阶亚谐波，表明在特定参数设置下，UH共振可占主导地位。
• 该方法可识别出UH和SuH振荡共存并占主导的参数范围，尤其在脂质壳微泡中，其在低压力下表现出增强的非线性响应。
