Abstract: Based on the theory of compressible fluid, a three-dimension boundary element method is utilized to research the motion of bubble. The far-field noise radiation during the growth and contraction is calculated by the Kirchhoff formula and the Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings (FW-H) formula with a fixed radiation surface being arranged at the near-field of bubble as a new acoustic source. The results show that the amplitude of the sound pressure induced by non-spherical bubble is lower than that of spherical bubble in the contraction phase. The retardance effect is more obvious when the observer is farther away from the bubble. In the anaphase of contraction, the observer with the maximum amplitude of sound pressure moves up with the obvious jet. Larger buoyance parameters will generate lower sound pressure amplitudes in the anaphase, while larger intensive parameters will cause higher sound pressure amplitudes in the whole procedure of bubble motion.
