Abstract: | An equation describing the kinetics of the mass transfer accompanying the process of gas bubble growth in an incompressible liquid is proposed. The equation of state of the two-phase system, whose derivation is based on the mechanism of interphase mass transfer due to the solubility of the gas atoms in the liquid, is obtained. An evolution equation generalizing the usual Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries (BKdV) equation is derived for describing the nonlinear waves in a gas-containing liquid. The solution of this equation is obtained in the form of a solitary wave.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, pp. 114–119, May–June, 1989. |
