There have been few experimental reports on cryogenic two-phase fluids and cavitation phenomena using the irradiation of pulsed high-power laser. This paper describes an investigation of the behavior of laser induced cavitation bubble in cryogenic liquid nitrogen. The bubble is produced by a pulsed ruby laser focused in the special cryostat. The production, growth, and rebound phenomena of the bubbles are visualized by diffusive shadowgraph technique with an image-converter camera. To compare with the experimental results, a numerical study has also been performed on the dynamics of a single spherical bubble in liquid nitrogen under the conditions of nonequilibrium phase change.
