Dumb Hole Associated with an Oscillating Bubbles Cluster

Abstract

In this paper, it is shown that in interaction with an oscillating bubbles cluster the fluid becomes inhomogeneous. The radial variation of the acoustic refractive index of the fluid generates an acoustic lens with spherical symmetry. When the focal length of the lens associated with the bubbles cluster is equal to the length of the position vector then the bubbles cluster behaves like a dumb hole. Unlike the properties of a bubble, the cluster, by compression under the action of attractive internal forces, can shrink its radius to become a dumb hole.
