| Abstract: | A class of media whose structure develops into a foam state during pulsed volume stretching because of unrestricted growth
of cavitational bubbles was determined experimentally. Among such media are low-viscosity Newtonian liquids, and disperse
liquid media (emulsions, suspensions, and gels) with a low-viscosity liquid matrix. The results obtained are important for
the development of a generalized rheological model for cavitating media.
