Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the microscopic dynamics of a
bubble when liquids are locally heated. We successfully observe that the heated atoms
scatter the neighboring nonheated atoms and make a bubble, and then the bubble is cooled
and compressed by the surrounding liquids. The bubble dynamics in this process agrees

Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the microscopic dynamics of a bubble when liquids are locally heated. We successfully observe that the heated atoms scatter the neighboring nonheated atoms and make a bubble, and then the bubble is cooled and compressed by the surrounding liquids. The bubble dynamics in this process agrees with the results of the Rayleigh-Plesset equation which describes the dynamics of a bubble in terms of macroscopic hydrodynamics. In this way, we clarify that the hydrodynamic description is reliable even for a microscopic bubble.
