Abstract
The two-stage mechanism is offered, on which the millimeter waves rises concentration of free air in water. At first, millimeter waves localize heating in a volume of the sample, creating supersaturated concentration of the dissolved air in a fluid. Then “superfluous” air diffuses in embryonic microbubbles present in a fluid. The experimental data confirm the mechanism suggested.
