Abstract

This chapter reviews some basic aspects of the dynamics of gas bubbles in liquids: the effect of liquid compressibility, thermal processes inside the bubble, the stability of the spherical shape, and acoustic radiation forces. Some remarks on sonoluminescence are also included.

The laws of nature are widely believed to be invariant under a time translation. One of the consequences of this property is that a paper published 50 or 100 years ago is not necessarily irrelevant or wrong. The purpose of the present work is to review some basic results in the theory of bubble dynamics in the belief that they may benefit newcomers to the field.
