Neglecting surface tension and viscosity, the equation was first derived by W. H. Besant in his 1859 book with the problem statement stated as An infinite mass of homogeneous incompressible fluid acted upon by no forces is at rest, and a spherical portion of the fluid is suddenly annihilated; it is required to find the instantaneous alteration of pressure at any point of the mass, and the time ...
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 ...
Experimental demonstration of Laplace pressure with soap bubbles. The Laplace pressure is the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of a curved surface that forms the boundary between two fluid regions. [1] The pressure difference is caused by the surface tension of the interface between liquid and gas, or between two ...
Due to the trapped air inside the bubble, it is impossible for the surface area to shrink to zero, hence the pressure inside the bubble is greater than outside, because if the pressures were equal, then the bubble would simply collapse. [15] This pressure difference can be calculated from Laplace's pressure equation,
Balancing the tension forces with pressure leads to the Young–Laplace equation. If no force acts normal to a tensioned surface, the surface must remain flat. But if the pressure on one side of the surface differs from pressure on the other side, the pressure difference times surface area results in a normal force. In order for the surface ...
In physics, the Young–Laplace equation (/ l ə ˈ p l ɑː s /) is an algebraic equation that describes the capillary pressure difference sustained across the interface between two static fluids, such as water and air, due to the phenomenon of surface tension or wall tension, although use of the latter is only applicable if assuming that the wall is very thin.
A different interpretation of the lattice Boltzmann equation is that of a discrete-velocity Boltzmann equation. The numerical methods of solution of the system of partial differential equations then give rise to a discrete map, which can be interpreted as the propagation and collision of fictitious particles.
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.
