Interaction of shock waves with bubble-liquid drops

The regular reflection of an air shock wave from a spherical drop of a bubble liquid is studied. In the framework of an extended equilibrium model, the effect of the shock waves on single drops of various shapes and on drop ensembles (drop screens) is numerically investigated. It is shown that, when subjected to shock waves, bubble-liquid drops and drops of a bubble-free liquid collapse in a radically different way.
