Abstract
A theory is presented that includes capillary, hydrodynamic, and diffusion aspects. The main attention is devoted to capillary and hydrodynamic effects. The hydrodynamic process (bubble growth) is governed by a nonlinear integrodifferential equation, whose coefficients are dependent on the surface tension, density, and viscosity of the liquid, and also on the difference between the pressure in the gas within the bubble and that in the surrounding liquid. The gas pressure in the bubble is dependent on the rate of gas release from the inclusion (source). An expression is derived for the bubble radius as a function of time. The theory can be useful for developing the technology of powder materials and foam metals.
