Where does the liquid go?

液体流向何处?

For a spherical bubble in incompressible liquid, the same volume flow passes every concentric sphere. This determines how liquid speed falls with distance.

对于不可压缩液体中的球形气泡,相同的体积流量穿过每一个同心球面。由此可以确定液体速度如何随距离减小。

Now suppose a bubble already exists. Assume its motion is spherical, the surrounding liquid is incompressible, and no mass crosses the bubble interface. Write its radius as R(t). A dot above R means a time derivative: Ṙ is signed wall velocity (positive outward), and R̈ is wall acceleration.

现在假设气泡已经存在。设气泡保持球形、周围液体不可压缩,并且没有质量穿过气泡界面。将气泡半径记为 R(t)。R 上方的点表示对时间求导:Ṙ 是带符号的壁面速度(向外为正),R̈ 是壁面加速度。

Count the volume crossing each sphere

计算穿过每个球面的体积流量

At the bubble wall, surface area multiplied by wall speed gives the volume flow rate. At any surrounding radius r > R, the area is larger but the same volume per second must cross it. Otherwise liquid would accumulate or disappear between the two spheres.

在气泡壁面,球面面积乘以壁面速度就是体积流率。在外侧任意半径 r > R 处,球面面积更大,但每秒穿过的液体体积必须相同。否则,液体就会在两个球面之间凭空积累或消失。

4πR²Ṙ = 4πr²u(r,t)

At the wall R, area 4πR² moves at Ṙ. At outer radius r, area 4πr² carries liquid at u(r,t), at the same instant t. / 在壁面 R 处,面积 4πR² 以 Ṙ 运动;在外侧半径 r 处,面积 4πr² 的液体速度为 u(r,t),两者对应同一时刻 t。

At the wall R, area 4πR² moves at Ṙ. At outer radius r, area 4πr² carries liquid at u(r,t), at the same instant t.

在壁面 R 处,面积 4πR² 以 Ṙ 运动;在外侧半径 r 处,面积 4πr² 的液体速度为 u(r,t),两者对应同一时刻 t。

u(r,t) = (R/r)²Ṙ

The wall speed Ṙ and outer liquid speed u(r,t) are attached to their concentric surfaces; greater r means lower radial speed. / 壁面速度 Ṙ 与外侧液体速度 u(r,t) 分别标在对应球面;r 越大,径向速度越低。

The wall speed Ṙ and outer liquid speed u(r,t) are attached to their concentric surfaces; greater r means lower radial speed.

壁面速度 Ṙ 与外侧液体速度 u(r,t) 分别标在对应球面;r 越大,径向速度越低。

Here u(r,t) is radial liquid velocity. At r = 2R, the spherical area is four times the wall area, so the liquid speed is one quarter of the wall speed. At r = 3R, it is one ninth. During collapse, Ṙ and u are negative: the same formula describes inward flow.

其中 u(r,t) 是液体的径向速度。在 r = 2R 处,球面面积是壁面面积的四倍,因此液体速度是壁面速度的四分之一;在 r = 3R 处则是九分之一。塌缩时,Ṙ 与 u 为负值:同一公式描述向内流动。

Spherical flow around an expanding bubble / 膨胀气泡周围的球对称流动 A bubble of radius R and a concentric sphere of radius 2R show a shorter outward velocity arrow at the larger sphere. 半径为 R 的气泡与半径为 2R 的同心球面上,外侧球面的向外速度箭头更短。 R 2R u(R) = Ṙ u(2R) = Ṙ/4

The arrows are schematic. The factor of four comes from the area of a sphere increasing with the square of its radius.

箭头仅为示意。速度变为四分之一,是因为球面面积随半径的平方增大。

Concentric spheres at R, 2R, and 3R with their corresponding radial flow speeds / 半径为 R、2R、3R 的同心球面及各处对应的径向速度

The worked locations 2R and 3R are marked on the liquid spheres, with their velocity ratios beside them.

例题中的 2R 和 3R 标在对应的液体球面上,旁边给出了各处的速度比例。

Model boundary 模型适用边界

This inverse-square law is for radial liquid velocity in the stated spherical, incompressible flow. A nearby wall changes the flow geometry; evaporation or condensation changes the interface mass balance. We will use this velocity field to derive the liquid inertia in the next lesson.

这个平方反比规律描述的是上述球对称、不可压缩流动中的液体径向速度。邻近固壁会改变流动几何;蒸发或凝结会改变界面的质量平衡。下一课将用这一速度场推导液体惯性项。

One check

一道检查题

A spherical bubble wall moves outward at 8 m/s. Under this model, what are the speed and direction of the liquid at r = 2R, and why?

一个球形气泡的壁面以 8 m/s 向外运动。在本课模型下,r = 2R 处液体的速度大小和方向是什么?为什么?
