| Abstract: | An equation of state for a volumetrically stretched cavitating liquid medium that holds in the entire span of volume concentrations
of bubbles ranging from cavitation nuclei to the stage of formation of a cellular foam structure is obtained based on a proposed
macrorheological model. The dependence of the modulus of volume elasticity of a liquid on the volume concentration of bubbles
is plotted, and a method for estimating the relaxation time for tensile stresses in cavitating liquid media is proposed.
