Fig. 4-9 Pressure wave propagation characteristics in a bubble dispersed Hg

Nonlinearity is stronger in a bubble dispersed Hg than in a bubble dispersed water because the surface tension of Hg is larger. As a result, the shock wave is formed in a bubble-dispersed Hg, even if the initial pressure is about 25 MPa and the bubble volume fraction level is 10-9.
