What is it about?
Laser-induced bubbles on gold and yttrium iron garnet targets are investigated as a function of the liquid viscosity using a nanosecond laser and an ultrafast shadowgraph imaging setup. We give a deeper insight into what determines the bubble dynamics.

Why is it important?
No unified model is available yet to explain the dynamics of laser-induced cavitation bubbles during laser ablation of solid targets in liquids, when an extremely high capillary number is achieved (>100), i.e. when the viscous forces strongly contribute to the friction.
Perspectives
We are now working on numerical simulation to fully describe the bubbles dynamics.
