3. Deriving the Rayleigh–Plesset equation
推导Rayleigh–Plesset方程
3.1 Assumptions before algebra
先写假设,再做代数
Assume an isolated spherical bubble in an infinite, incompressible Newtonian liquid of constant density and viscosity . The liquid is spherically symmetric and at rest infinitely far away. Ignore gravity, translation, neighboring bubbles, and interfacial mass flux in the kinematic condition. Let the gas pressure be spatially uniform and surface tension constant. These assumptions—not the name of the equation—define the baseline model. The classical spherical-cavity framework is represented in your archive by Plesset's paper; later closures and extensions add gas, viscosity, and compressibility as needed. [S419, S413]
假设一个孤立球形气泡位于密度、黏度恒定的无限大不可压缩牛顿液体中。液体运动具有球对称性,无穷远处静止。忽略重力、平移、邻近气泡,并在运动学条件中忽略界面质量通量。泡内压力空间均匀,表面张力恒定。定义基础模型的是这些假设,而不是方程名称。你提供的Plesset论文代表了经典球形空腔理论框架;后续闭合与扩展根据需要加入气体、黏性和可压缩性。[S419, S413]
3.2 Continuity determines the velocity field
连续性决定速度场
For radial liquid velocity , incompressibility gives . Therefore . With , we obtain
对于液体径向速度,不可压缩条件给出,因此。代入,得到

图示标出物理体系,图例列出公式中的符号。若某字母有多种作用,应以邻近推导中的定义为准。
Notice that liquid velocity decreases as , not as . The latter scaling will appear later for a radiated acoustic pressure in the far field. Confusing the incompressible near flow with the acoustic radiation field is a common conceptual error.
注意,液体速度按衰减,而不是。后者将在远场辐射声压中出现。把不可压缩近场流动与声辐射场混淆,是一个常见概念错误。
3.3 Bernoulli produces the inertia terms
Bernoulli方程给出惯性项
The unsteady Bernoulli equation, with the potential chosen to vanish at infinity, is . Differentiate at fixed spatial position , and only afterwards set :
取无穷远处势函数为零,非定常Bernoulli方程为。应先在固定空间位置处对求时间偏导,然后再令:

Differentiating as a total derivative at the start would introduce an extra moving-boundary term and give the wrong coefficient. This is the exact point at which many otherwise sound derivations lose the factor .
如果一开始就对求全导数,就会额外引入运动边界项,导致系数错误。许多看似合理的推导,正是在这里丢失了正确的系数。
3.4 Normal stress supplies capillarity and viscosity
法向应力给出毛细项和黏性项
The liquid normal stress is . Equation (3.1) gives , so . Balancing normal traction across the spherical interface, with negligible gas viscosity, gives
液体法向应力为。由式(3.1),有,因此。忽略气体黏性,对球形界面作法向牵引平衡,得到

Combining (3.2) and (3.3) produces the Rayleigh–Plesset equation in its common incompressible form:
联立式(3.2)和(3.3),得到常用不可压缩形式的Rayleigh–Plesset方程:

图示标出物理体系,图例列出公式中的符号。若某字母有多种作用,应以邻近推导中的定义为准。
During expansion, the viscous term opposes outward motion. During collapse, , so it contributes outward resistance. The sign is therefore physically consistent in both directions. Surface tension always favors reduced area; it is not a damping term, because it can reversibly store and release energy.
在膨胀阶段,黏性项阻碍向外运动;在塌缩阶段,,该项则形成向外的阻力。因此,它在两个方向上的符号都符合物理意义。表面张力始终倾向于减小面积,但它不是阻尼项,因为它可以可逆地储存和释放能量。
3.5 Closing the equation
方程如何闭合
A frequently useful teaching closure separates gas from vapor:
一个常用教学闭合关系,将不凝性气体与蒸气分开处理:

Here is an equilibrium reference radius at ambient pressure , not necessarily the radius at the chosen simulation start. If the simulation starts at maximum expansion , the gas content still has to be specified. Setting automatically redefines the gas content and can accidentally create a bubble that is in equilibrium when it should collapse.
这里是环境压力下的平衡参考半径,不一定等于所选仿真起始时刻的半径。若从最大膨胀半径开始计算,仍必须另行指定气体含量。直接令会重新定义气体含量,可能误将本应塌缩的气泡设置为平衡态。
The initial-value problem requires , , a forcing history, and closure parameters. A single measured maximum radius does not determine initial gas mass, vapor content, temperature, and source energy independently.
初值问题需要、、外部激励历程和闭合参数。单独测得一个最大半径,不能独立确定初始气体质量、蒸气含量、温度以及源能量。

The radial generalized mass is configuration-dependent. It is not the translational added mass of a sphere. The generalized pressure force is ; the surface energy is ; and the viscous generalized force is . Substituting into Lagrange's equation recovers (3.4).
径向广义质量随构型变化,它不是球体平移运动的附加质量。广义压力力为,表面能为,黏性广义力为。将它们代入Lagrange方程,即可重新得到式(3.4)。
This derivation reveals the meaning of : part of the radial force accelerates newly recruited liquid as the generalized mass changes. It is not an arbitrary nonlinear correction. Multiplying (3.4) by yields a useful power balance:
这一推导揭示了的意义:随着广义质量变化,一部分径向驱动力用于加速新带动的液体。它并非任意添加的非线性修正。将式(3.4)乘以,得到实用的功率平衡:

The last term is nonnegative dissipation with a minus sign. This identity is one of the strongest numerical checks available for an incompressible radial solver.
最后一项是带负号的非负耗散量。这个恒等式是检验不可压缩径向求解器的有力工具之一。
