Collapse time for shock-induced (squares) and Rayleigh (circles) collapse. (a) Free-field collapse. Diamonds: solution from the Rayleigh–Plesset equation for spherical collapse; dashed-dotted line: ∼1/ps/po−1. (b) Collapse near a wall. Triangles: experiments by Lindau & Lauterborn (2003); solid line: τr; dashed line: τc. The filled symbols denote cavitation conditions (ps/po = 34) and the open symbols indicate shock wave lithotripsy conditions (shock-induced collapse: ps/po = 353; Rayleigh collapse: ps/po = 714).
