Abstract: Interaction of a single chemically active bubble in water with acoustic waves is numerically studied within the framework of the model of a two-dimensional unsteady flow of an ideal compressible medium. The boundaries between the phases are explicitly identified. It is demonstrated that bubble explosion initiation can be determined by the character of bubble deformation. Nonsphericity of deformation and jet formation lead to an explosion even if the bubble does not collapse. The possibility of the bubble explosion in an expansion wave, transfer of detonation from one bubble to another, and, thus, emergence of bubble detonation is demonstrated.

Keywords: bubble, detonation, jet, numerical simulation, explosion.
