Figure 2: Change of pressure during bubble formation plotted as a function of added volume. Initially a bubble appears on the end of the capillary. As the size increases, the radius of curvature of the bubble decreases. At the point of the maximum bubble pressure, the bubble has a complete hemispherical shape whose radius is identical to the ...
The Rayleigh–Plesset equation is often applied to the study of cavitation bubbles, shown here forming behind a propeller.. In fluid mechanics, the Rayleigh–Plesset equation or Besant–Rayleigh–Plesset equation is a nonlinear ordinary differential equation which governs the dynamics of a spherical bubble in an infinite body of incompressible fluid.
This measured pressure permits obtaining the pore diameter, which is calculated by using the Young-Laplace formula P= 4*γ*cos θ*/D in which D is the pore size diameter, P is the pressure measured, γ is the surface tension of the wetting liquid and θ is the contact angle of the wetting liquid with the sample. The surface tension γ is a ...
The discrete bubble model includes the effects of the surrounding fluid on the bubbles. Discrete bubble models, e.g. the Rayleigh-Plesset, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Gilmore [ 3 ] and Keller-Miksis, [ 4 ] describe the relation between the external pressure, bubble radius and the velocity and acceleration of the bubble wall.
This pressure difference can be calculated from Laplace's pressure equation, Δ P = 2 γ R {\displaystyle \Delta P={\frac {2\gamma }{R}}} . For a soap bubble, there exists two boundary surfaces, internal and external, and therefore two contributions to the excess pressure and Laplace's formula doubles to
where is the sum over the participating pressures, such as the atmospheric pressure , the hydrostatic pressure and the equivalent pressure due to capillary forces . η {\displaystyle \eta } is the viscosity of the liquid, and ϵ {\displaystyle \epsilon } is the coefficient of slip, which is assumed to be 0 for wetting materials.
The Minnaert resonance [1] [2] [3] is a phenomenon associated with a gas bubble pulsating at its natural frequency in a liquid, neglecting the effects of surface tension and viscous attenuation. It is the frequency of the sound made by a drop of water from a tap falling in water underneath, trapping a bubble of air as it falls.
Multiphase flows forms when two or more partially or immiscible fluids are brought in contact. [7] The capillary number in multiphase flow has the same definition as the single flow formulation, the ratio of viscous to surface forces but has the added(?) effect of the ratio of fluid viscosities: [clarification needed]
