Characteristic lengths in free-field shock-induced collapse. The characteristic size of the jet is taken as the length between the x-axis and the point where the jet outline first becomes horizontal, and the bubble height is the distance between the centreline and the topmost part of the bubble at that instant: (a) Jet outline. Top: ps/po = 71 at t/(Ro/cL) = 20.1; bottom: ps/po = 282 at t/(Ro/cL) = 11.0. (b) Characteristic lengths as a function of pressure ratio across the shock. Circles: jet size, lj; squares: bubble height, lB.
