Motion of a liquid-gas bubble mixture in the incipient cavitation stage

This article is concerned with the nonsteady motion of a mixture of an ideal incompressible liquid with gas bubbles in the incipient stage of cavitation. Solutions are obtained in the first and second approximations. The solutions are applied to pipe flow situations.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 5, pp. 151–153, September–October, 1976.The author is indebted to L. I.
