  An air bubble trapped in water by an oscillating acoustic field undergoes
either radial or nonspherical pulsations depending on the strength of the
forcing pressure. Two different instability mechanisms (the Rayleigh--Taylor
instability and parametric instability) cause deviations from sphericity.
Distinguishing these mechanisms allows explanation of many features of recent
experiments on sonoluminescence, and suggests methods for finding
sonoluminescence in different parameter regimes.
