Abstract

It is shown that the scattering of laser radiation off cavitation ruptures in fluids is similar to scattering by gas particles. When the characteristic dimensions of microscopic voids and bubbles are considerably smaller than the laser wavelength, the scattered light is in the Rayleigh regime, which allows for the detection of early stage cavitation. Simple estimates of the scattered radiation intensity and the dynamics of its changes in connection with the generation of cavitation in the test volume are obtained, allowing us to find the critical conditions for cavitation inception.
